quote first: Bono on TRL:
"right now, this is a grudge match. we put our lives into this record, we're very proud of it. the only way we want to put it across is like we don't exist before this record."
what does "grudge match" mean? i know what grudge and match mean separately, but i don't know what they mean put together. and it makes no sense to translate it literally-a race in begrudging.
expressions: this one is related to US education system.
"homecoming (queen)"
what kind of tradition is homecoming? is it during high school time or during college time?
the second one is from New York:
"you can't walk around the block without a change of clothing"
over here, a block is a tall building with apartments/flats in it.
is it the same in the song? or is block a group of buildings, like a street or neighbourhood? or is it just like-you can't even go around the corner?
