I'm not sure if this was posted anywhere - I searched and couldn't find it....
Bono is in this months Q magazine (the special Lennon edition) in a feature of different artists talking about what John Lennon means to them.
My brother is convinced Bono's in the only hand written entry of the lot (the rest are just typed out) because Q could't figure out what most of it said.
I've left it quite big so it's easier to figure out.
This is what I could make out but it could very easily be wrong.
1) When did you first become aware of John Lennon?
Age 4 I want to hold your hand...and I knew it wasn't my mothers. Age 11/12 him whispering in my ear words of dissent and ascent..."everything is clearer in my world". From the tiny box room window in Cedarwood road the world did seem more understandable listening to Lennon...less concrete, more abstract, open to change - to be tucked or hugged into shape...
2) What is his greatest song?
Help/Across the universe. I've recorded both - across the universe is much harder than I thought...requires almost 'circular breathing' ala the didjeridu
3) Without John Lennon I wouldn't have...
Dared to dream so loudly, to risk such foolishness and never to fear ridicule....
4) When was Lennon at his best?
When he was in an argument...Macca...the band, the missus Yoko...the maharishi...the left, Phil Spector, God (?), himself.
5) And finally, sum up John Lennon in a sentence.
Ridiculous question, Q should know better....
