what they said

"Dressing up as the devil is great. I enjoyed every minute of it. The amazing thing was a woman called Eunice Shriver who set up the Special Olympics - she's one of the Kennedys and an American Irish I suppose - she came down to see us. She's incredibly erudite and she's up on everything, a pretty sharp lady. And she said after the show, 'Y'know, I used to go and see U2 shows and I just saw these kind of angels.' And she said, 'Tonight I saw these devils as well as angels on stage and I think I liked it better. It's a fairer fight.' Macphisto walking through the Vatican. That was great. I really enjoyed that. Walking through the Vatican with my stick thinking, 'One day this could all be mine.'" - Bono, 1995

did you know

'40' from the War album almost was never recorded. The band (minus Adam Clayton who had left the studio) had gone over their booked studio time, but convinced the studio manager to let them record '40'. The Edge plays both electric and bass guitar on the song. It was a last addition to the album, but has closed many shows over the decades.
