Bono and Jim Yong Kim

"We wrote Where the Streets Have No Name during a break. We were missing a tune, and I knew it, I sensed it. So everyone went on holiday and I stayed behind and came up with the music to Where the Streets Have No Name. I remember thinking to myself, there are no songs on this record that we're gonna play live. So I set down to write a live song, and that's what I came up with." - The Edge, 1999
