i guess larry's just scared that the girls would go crazy (who wouldn't?) & pull him!

and adam, oh, the non-stop smoking bothers, er--worries me.

Just to shed a little light on the gay bar issue:

I can't speak specifically about Bono going to the bar after visiting the Pope, but here's what Larry had to say while the band was at a gay bar in Australia. This is from "U2 At the End of the World":

"Gay clubs are the best place for us to come to," Larry shouts in my ear above the music. "Nobody hassles us, there's not the asshole you find in other clubs who just has to get up and try to start something. They respect us and they're glad to have us. The gay community is always on the cutting edge in music. I'm proud that they like U2 and come to our concerts. They don't see in U2 that macho shit that's beneath so much rock. I have a lot of time for the gay community."

Maybe that explains why the band sometimes goes to gay clubs. I seriously doubt it is for the shock value.

And for the record, people who think that you can catch diseases, including STDs, by sitting down at or going to a gay club, (or having your underwear washed in the same laundry machine as someone who did go to a gay club, for that matter), are living in the stone age. You don't catch diseases by sitting somewhere, no matter how "seedy" the environment, unless you're sitting around with no underpants on. Quite frankly, there are probably just as many diseases (colds and viruses, e.g.) floating around public bathrooms, university dormitories, and our own places of employment than there are at a gay club. Don't mean to attack anyone's opinions, but that statement is flat out scientifically inaccurate.

Actually, gay clubs are fun because the guys aren't hitting on you and you can actually dance and enjoy yourself.

As for what I don't like about U2, I think Bono says the word "megalomania" WAY too much.

Oh wow, I thought it was safe to mention controversial things since everyone else did it and didn't get flamed. No one cared when the drinking and smoking and cussing were attacked but by golly don't say a thing against the wonderful exalted gay bar- what the hell? Look you asked a question and I answered it. I don't like some of the comments about smoking but I didn't flame anybody. I just think he went right from the Pope to the gay bar to make a statement against Catholicism and I don't like that. I don't have to judge of course, God will do that, for all of us.

BTW yes, I do think you can catch more diseases in a seedy bar, as I have repeatedly said when I say seedy I mean gay or straight! You might catch a cold or flu somewhere else but what you get in seedy places could kill you. Also if anyone can't respect my opinion they are just as closed minded and opinionated as they think I am.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. I just wanted to post what Larry had said to give more of a perspective from the horse's mouth on why U2/Bono go to gay clubs. As a Catholic, I don't see it as a slam against Catholicism. That's my opinion.

What kind of diseases are you talking about? And how do you catch them? I ask this in all sincerity in an attempt to see things from your perspective, and with all respect...perhaps I misinterpreted your earlier statement.

Okay, the 'Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses' rumour: I had NO clue until I saw this guy's post on alt.fans.u2.. he talked about the song and said that during The Joshua Tree tour Bono had this affair with a girl, and then wrote that song. BUT U2 has supposedly said a member of U2 had an affair with a fan. Listen to the lyrics:


You're dangerous, 'cos you're honest.
You're dangerous, you don't know what you want.
Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot
For any spirit to haunt.

You're an accident waiting to happen
You're a piece of glass left there on a beach.
Well you tell me things
I know you're not supposed to
Then you leave me just out of reach.

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?

Well you stole it 'cos I needed the cash
And you killed it 'cos I needed revenge.
Well you lied to me 'cos I asked you to.
Baby, can we still be friends?

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?

Ah, the deeper I spin
Ah, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin.
Took a drive in the dirty rain
To a place where the wind calls your name
Under the trees, the river laughing at you and me.
Hallelujah! Heaven's white rose
The doors you open I just can't close.

Don't turn around, don't turn around again.
Don't turn around your gypsy heart.
Don't turn around, don't turn around again.
Don't turn around, and don't look back.
Come on now love, don't you look back.

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna taste your saltwater kisses?
Who's gonna take the place of me?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna tame the heart of thee?

"Took a drive in the dirty rain, to the place where the wind calls your name" is supposed to be the place they met, etc. "You're dangerous, 'cos you're honest" and "You're an accident waiting to happen" is supposed to refer to keeping it a secret, blah blah. I know it is totally out of character, but it still makes me wonder if it IS true or not.

[This message has been edited by dizzy (edited 12-03-2001).]

I agree,Edge's temper tantrum was kinda sexy...and unfortunately, the strip club thing was true...
frown.gif


Also, I am Catholic and I swear, I have gay friends, I drink and I do other things that might be considered rebellious to the church. I however just don't smoke. I am highly allergic to smoke, so it makes it hard for me to go to nightclubs/bars and growing up in a medical family, the things that I learned about smoking made it unattractive to me to ever get hooked...don't get me wrong, I would be a hypocrite if i said I never tried it, because i have several times, but it did nothing for me...I love that U2 are very open to everything...what bothers me are narrow-minded people and thank God U2 are not that way...And because Bono smokes and drinks, it does not make me like him any less, I just do not want him or any one who smokes to suffer any health problems...
smile.gif
ALso, If Bono had a problem with the drinking, I would be very very concerned, but I have never read anything that has stated that he does...that is my .02cents on this, I just wanted to clarify my first response...

I would like to 'clarify' that I am not even Catholic, and not even all that religious, and not 'narrow minded.' I am a very deep thinker, and that is why it makes no sense to me that people will claim to be a Catholic but denounce what the church stands for because they don't want to be told they can't do anything they feel like and not be labeled a 'sinner.' It's like, okay, that's fine until they say something you don't want to hear. I mean, why even bother to have a religion if you only want to change all the rules to suit you and your friends so you can do whatever you feel like and not have to feel guilty? I admire the church for not caving in and changing age-old standards just to please people and make them feel better. You know, like the old song says, don't hold back, if it feels good do it! Anything goes! Sure go ahead, but don't try to justify it. Your will is free as Eve in the garden of Eden, but don't try to say you're not sinning just because you don't want to feel bad. That's my problem. I think Bono went right from the Pope to the gay bars just to make a political statement about the Catholic church's values and I believe that is wrong. He could have eaten or partied anywhere, his choice of entertainment was done for a reason and I didn't like it. I also don't like the labeling and stereotyping of me that has occured due to this. I do wrong things too of course but I will never expect anyone to change the rules of their religion just to suit me. I admit it and take full responsibility.
