I remember erading an interview with Jim Kerr around the "Once Upon A Time" album where he said "We're close enough friends with U2, I spent some time with Bono last Christmas. However, our music has a feminine streak which theirs does not have"
To the point - this was at the time when U2 was at their most proclamatory and hard-lined. Five or six years later it wouldn't have been true, but there's always been a tension between the soft and vulnerable and the forceful in the Minds' music.
