U2 at the Kennedy Awards, December 2022

"All I remember is the insecurity - the oh I'm not good enough, I wish I was cooler.. the washing machine head. U2 is often accused of overachieving, but coming from Dublin in the 80s, we thought we had to prove ourselves. But there's an integrity to those recordings. It stands up really well, and musically I imagined we were out of time and out of tune." - Adam looking back on Boy, 2023
