Guess you're right...but I'd hate to think how long it'll be until I come across the quote I mentioned above again lol! Unless you have it configured to some random selection process or what have you...

Don't have to wait long my friend.

"For me, that term "pop" is like a candy bar. You buy it because you like it, you eat it, and then you throw it away. It has no long-term meaning or value."

- The Edge, 1985


And I agree with what you said earlier

And I will keep collecting them! There is even a submission thread in this subforum, if you come across great quotes or facts, just submit them and I'll see if they're already around or not.

"I think the music is much better than the musician, but also the audience is as much applauding itself as us. One of the things people forget about these large concerts is that the audience have heard the records, it knows the songs from the radio and the music has become part of their lives. When they hear those songs their own selves are caught up in them and they are in some way applauding the connection." - Bonno, June 1985
