Can people not understand that the whole idea with the POP album was to experiment and take the band in a new direction, pop music is diferent from rock, the lyrics dont have to tell a story, the album was sound. For U2 to release an album with dance tunes like Discoteque and Mofo is a big risk considering there most sucessful album the joshua tree was filled with slow moving ballads..I dont think any other band would have the balls to try something like that. They are always one step ahead of the competition. Cant imagine the Stones attempting pop album |

"See 7 Towers, but only see one way out"
The 7 Towers are Ballymun Flats in north dublin named after 1916 Rising heroes Pearse,Clarke,McDermott,McDonagh,Ceannt,Plunkett and James Connolly, not far from Ceaderwood Rd where Bono grew up, 'the one way out ' refers to the woman commiting suicide jumping from the balcony.. as you can c from my previous entry's my favourite piece is " Cry without weeping, Talk witout sleeping, scream witout raising your voice, youknow i took the poison from the poison stream and i floated out of here" the poison being Heroin. Hearing them sing it in Croke Park, Dublin was spine tingling! |
