24/7: U2 Could Miss Bono's Unique Stage Presence
By Polly Graham
If anyone sees a big, fluffy, dolphin wandering about the
Witnness festival, it's nothing to do with having too much Guinness.
If the Flaming Lips have their way, the boy in the dolphin suit could
well be Bono.
Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne has asked the U2 star to
follow in the footsteps of Justin Timberlake and take to the stage in
front of his home Dublin crowd dressed in a fluffy dolphin costume.
Wayne said: "We are putting the word out to him right now -- hey
Bono, the Flaming Lips are coming and they're requesting you
come dress.
"I think Bono would do it."
The Flaming Lips have a history of dressing famous friends in
wacky animal costumes and parading them behind them as they
perform.
A few months ago Justin Timberlake joined the band as they
appeared on Top of the Pops playing bass guitar dressed as a
dolphin.
During the performance of "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots" Justin
whipped off his dolphin head to show the crowd his face.
A pal said: "It was a chance meeting. They got on really well and
they asked Justin to join them onstage -- Justin is a big fan of
theirs.
"It was really quite funny and they all had an absolute blast. He
likes to do things people don't expect."
Two weeks ago, Fatboy Slim and DJ wife Zoe Ball repeated the
trick when the Flaming Lips appeared at the Glastonbury Festival.
A pal of Bono's -- who has just vowed to launch a campaign of civil
disobedience to battle global poverty -- said the U2 man would
probably be up to the challenge.
The pal said: "He's got a wicked sense of humour and I wouldn't be
surprised if he decided to slip down to Witnness and do it."
The Flaming Lips have around 12 people dressed as plushie
animals on stage with them during their performances.

and also, i had a compelling feeling that i should show this to the bono girls. in september, there is a new book going on sale by Lola Cashman, the band's stylist in the j tree days, which would probably be an interesting read..but ah, the pic is very nice! ^_^
