Kilgore Trout

The drug reference is also present in the line "I took the poison from the poison stream then I flowed it outa here." If you watch the ZOOTV Sydney video, Bono rubs his arm like he's shooting up when he sings that line. It puts a jump on that lyric, which I always thought was about escape from...

What else are you into other than U2? I also am a musician in the Dallas area looking for people to jam with. I play guitar and like to sing also. U2 is my fav, but I am into a lot of stuff. Particularly The Beatles, Dylan, Springsteen, The Police, Smashing Pumpkins, and many others. I've...

Skeek I HEAR YOU on Gorecki! The song I'm into right now is Beth Orton's "Concrete Sky" It's just beautiful. Also, "Carnival" by Van Morrison

It is about Northern Ireland. The cover of the single has the major players in the Ireland conflict on it. Also, I found it interesting that on the live Rotterdam version on the Please single, the bridge contains the drum part from Sunday Bloody Sunday. It kinda brings back the Ireland...

"Life should be fragrant Rooftop to the basement" I love that. It's sincere, and it's something that everyone should take to heart. Also, I love the final fading lyrics to Walk On. The "All that you fashion. All that you make." bit. Especially the line that the album drew its title from...

I am not afraid of anything in this world There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heard I'm just trying to fing to find a descent melody A song that I can see in my own company Lookin' for to save my, save my soul Lookin' in the places where no flowers grow If you twist...

Yes Khanada, Much of Achtung Baby is about Edge and Aislinn's divorce, but was Aislinn self-destructive or especially troubled? Was Edge falling into this self-destructive pattern by loving her? Stuck In A Moment is about Michael Hutchence, who commited suicide. So there is Bono's relation...

I've seen many, many references to self destructive love in U2 lyrics. Everything from With or Without You to much of Achtung Baby, Zooropa, and Pop. It seems that these references are the narrator loving a self destructive person. He cannot handle this other person's nature, but cannot lose...

A friend of mine thought that the line in Discotheque "You just can't get enough of that lovie dovie stuff" was "just can't get enough of that lovin' doggy style" HA! Also, I've heard one that someone thought the chorus of Spirits In the Material World by the Police was "Ooh Papa Smurf, we are...

I live in Dallas and I don't know anyone who loves U2 as much as I do. Holler if you are in the same boat:wave:

I have read GOOD COUNTRY PEOPLE. I forget the name of the other story as well. O'Connor really plays with grotesque characters. I think that influenced some of the aspects of THE JOSHUA TREE. These twisted perceptions of the American South. Religious fanaticism among other things.

She is really amazing. I recently finished THE VIOLENT BEAR IT AWAY. I had read many of her short stories beforehand, which are really incredible. I was inspired to read her novels because of the U2 connection. They are admirers of her and Bono was turned on to her novel WISEBLOOD by Bruce...
