When I read that Bono stripped down naked in a crowded restaurant during an interview, I was pretty shocked.

From Newsday March 27, 1992: At a dinner earlier this week at London's celebrity haunt, Nikita, Bono surprised his 18 dinner guests by removing all his clothes - including his black bikini briefs - for no apparent reason. During the Russian meal of mainly vodka and caviar, we're told the Irish rocker sat naked and acted as if being nude in a plush, crowded restaurant was the most natural thing in the world. Which, in some quarters, we suppose it is. "Sometimes people drink vodka and do strange things," Nikita owner Sylvain Borsi told us. But didn't he find Bono's behavior a bit eccentric, to say the least? "No, he was very nice and very civilized," Borsi said. "I think he just felt more comfortable with nothing on." But he had a really good reason! From Newsday March 30, 1992 : His spokesman says Bono was actually being interviewed by a journalist during dinner when the Irish rocker decided to undress, as we reported. "The writer was so unimaginative, so frozen, so unloose that Bono thought it would be a good idea to take his clothes off," the spokesman said. "And there wasn't much of a reaction."

"That's a bit mean, asking a drummer to tell a drummer joke," Larry replied, but he told the joke anyway. "Three guys are sittin' down having a rap and the first guy says, 'I'm a nuclear scientist and I have an IQ of 170'. The second guy says, 'I have an IQ of 140 - I'm a neurosurgeon.' The next guy says, 'I have an IQ of seventy.' The other two guys say . . . [You're a drummer!']."

So...we all know how quotable our Bono is. Has he ever truely shocked you? Made you really, seriously blush (and you're not Edge?) Made your draw drop (for reasons other than hotness?

)?

Here's mine...when he called the President of France a (and yes, I'm quoting here) a "wanker" in connection with certain nuclear weapons being tested....LMFAO! This at an awards ceremony!! Where U2 was getting an award! BONO!! You did NOT!

And that wasn't the only nude interview! Oh, no, it wasn't. According to the U2 Encyclopedia:

"In The Nude Interview"
The name given to a an interview U2 did live on the Dave Fanning Radio Show on the 25th June 1987 during a break in the Joshua Tree tour. As Fanning was playing Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life" which has the line "He's gonna do another striptease" in it, the four members of U2 instinctively took off their clothes and sat around the studio for the interview in the nude. Bono also reportedly went into the studio next door and interrupted the news bulletin.

Adam and Bono, yes. But Edge seems awfully bashful. (in case none of us has noticed).

I don't know....Edge is pretty progressive and open-minded and all that....he prolly wasnt the first one to let it all hang out, but I can see him doing it.

Yes...I can see him doing it right now....

...I'm sorry what thread is this?

But Larry....he was certainly the last one to get nekkid. He's a cool guy and everything but he has NO appreciation for the absurd.

Ah... nekkid interviews!

I think that I have read about that Dave Fanning interview! If I recall correctly, they mentioned that Edge was pantless, but I'm not sure if the shirt flew off eventually too! What I do remember is that the guys ended the interview by singing "Puppy Love"!

*is momentarily scandalized*
*dies laughing*

*some time later, revives*

A late-breaking development! I did not find a clip of naked U2 singing "Puppy Love", but did find a RealAudio clip of naked Edge, plus naked band on percussion, from the same interview. They are singing "Lost Highway"!

Okay, here's the story I actually started this thread for.

If you have the "Save the Yuppies" boot (and I could create a whole thread on how much just that name cracks me up...what smartarses

), that'll help. If not...here we go.

So, remeber Bono's "F--k the revolution" rant after yet another IRA bombing? Well, that's pretty much what this boot captures. Except this time, some idiot brought a sign that said "SF U2" on it. Bono (I can just picutre him....) see it and goes off! And I mean, he flips his lid. You see, evidently SF stands for Sein Fenn, another name for the IRA. Bono confronts the guy, saying, "What have we were? You make me sick...you should be ashamed of yourself. You bastards left 11 dead, so and so wounded in the name of freedom...F--K freedom." And the the "no more! no war!" chant.

I was stunned when I first heard this. I couldn't believe he'd confront someone at a show like that.

Any more?

Mr. The "Good with my hands, why do you giggle when I say I need to screw" Edge, and I just finished installing showers that give out ONLY cold water. So...make use of them. They're available on all floors of the PLEBA Mansion.

Hey...has anyone seen Edge, by the way?

OMG.. ROFLMAO!!! I always wonder, when I hear things like this -- does Bono even remember those things very much? I mean, if you met him and asked what why he took all his clothes off in a restaurant because of a stiff reporter (NO PUN INTENDED, you silly people), would he know what you are talking about? Or would he just shrug and say he didn't remember it?

I have no idea. BUT I certainly know I am going to be scandalized for the next 20 years because of this thread.

Just a question, wasn't this concert held in San Fran., CA? Was this fan actually holding the sign up for San Fran (S.F. for short) or was he really holding it up for Seinn Fenn?

Aha! I remembered the story and I remembered there was some mistake over what SF stood for. I remember back in May, at the Minneapolis concert, Bono climbed into the sides of the arena and then he hung around for a bit and then he tried to get back down, and the security guys were helping him, and this guy freaked Bono out by grabbing his arm when he was getting down -- I think Bono was falling or something, or the fan thought he was, and Bono later apologized. Correct me if I'm wrong, as always.
