missed a few quotes from:
(I just love it,
the humor of it all :-)
"It’s a curious thing, who survives the music industry and who doesn’t. Bono credits this sort of thinking—faith in the divine in everything, faith in Jesus Christ—for what has pulled him through."
(Everybody can hate him if they want to
but I love a ton of their music
and I admire him for being vocal about
"faith in Jesus Christ—
for what has pulled him through"
Me and a lot of others as well my brother,
us and a lot of others.
Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice
and opens the door,
I will come in to him
and eat with him, and he with me.
He simply doesnt turn anyone away.)
He also has his wife of forty-two years:
“I have a partner
who is just wisdom.”
(Me too brother, me too :-)
Here soon anyway.)
And one very good lesson
from Chrissie Hynde.
“I remember her saying,
‘Hey, let’s not die stupid,’
he says.
“ ‘Not in a swimming pool,
choking on your own vomit..."
(Motto for our times:
‘Hey, let’s not die stupid,’ ”
I would add:
"Or willfully ignorant"
about what is going on
in our world and why.
You wanna die ignorant?
You just go on right ahead.)
"They take comfort in the fact that
Dublin does not bend around them.
That the chances a neighbor
loves or hates U2
feel evenly split
and where,
as a culture,
“being wealthy
does not make you interesting.”
(Sounds like heaven
a culture where:
“being wealthy
does not make you
interesting.”)
"Bono met Ali
(His wife)
the same week he met U2.
All this time later,
he remains stunned by his luck.
“How absurd that I fell in love with her
the moment I saw her?”
he says.
(Same her brother,
same here.)
"He gives Ali most of the credit for how everyone (of his kids) turned out, but it’s clear what pride he takes in the fact that they are guided by the same north star as he is:
“All of them gather around a prayer,
and the prayer is to be useful,”
he says."
"Referencing the earlier collection, he says,
“The most important line on that album is
‘I’m not afraid of anything in this world
There’s nothing you can throw at me
that I haven’t already heard.’ ”
(Funny
I always thought so too.

"I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard"
"...those who escape hell, however,
never talk about it
& nothing much bothers them after that.
I mean, things like missing a meal,
going to jail, wrecking your car,
or even the idea of death itself.
when you ask them,
“how are things?”
they’ll always answer,
“fine, just fine…”
"I still think that we can create a soundtrack
for people who want to take on the world.”
Kinda remided me of:
"You need that anarchic spirit
to change the world.
Pot-smoking, opinionated,
fun, adventurous people"
a lil bit,
yup.
Amen.
And?
Yall most certainly have:
"create(d) a soundtrack
for people who want
to take on the world"
I hope it continues.
