U2 in Dublin - The Fly, Bono and Edge

"I was allowed to wail and keen, as the Irish call it, on a nightly basis. Most of the problem of grief is that people bottle it up. But I could use these songs to keep myself sane. I was having conversations in these songs that maybe I couldn't have with people." - Bono on the period when his father was dying while they were on the Elevation tour
