Babyface
I was just listening to the live version of this song from the Rattle and Hum DVD. I love it! It's one of my favorite performances of the track that U2 has ever done.
Could someone enlighten me on why Bono tagged on a line from "Sympathy For The Devil" on the end of the song? I never really understood the connection. I know that they frequently add on "Ruby Tuesday" to it in many different performances, but that specific moment has been one of the few times I have heard SFTD with it as well.
Does it somehow relate to the song? If "Bad" is about heroin addiction, then how does it go together? One thought I had was that maybe it relates to something that was going on currently at the time or maybe it was some type of tribute to Mick Jagger, who may have been in the audience that night. I know that they commonly do stuff like that (i.e. singing a little bit of "Everybody Hurts" when Michael Stipe watched one of their Elevation Tour shows), but didn't know if that was as a strech in this instance.
Enlighten me, oh wise ones!
