    Ireland 2023: The Bono Interview
    IT: Do you regret not going into politics like Sir Bob, or other musicians, for example The Pussy Riot Collective?

    B: They may want to hold high office but they did still show up for our launch into space, drinking our wine and stealing our thunder. Despite their rock star excesses they are deadly serious in their attempt to slow down Tsar Putin?s march in to Greater Russia? one of Pussy Riot has relatives in the Ukraine who are NOT happy. We love them. They?re noisy. Noisy is good. Speaking of which, I don?t have much time ? got to get ready for this gig. That?s gonna be noisy.

    IT: I thought in space no one can hear you scream.

    B: That?s rubbish. Edge has been screaming at me all morning. The scream is an important form of communication. The first thing we do when we are born. Lets the world know we?ve arrived.

    My goodness. You do get high up here, breathing pure oxygen?

    Is there anything more worldly, or less, than being out of this world?

    First band into space?

    IT: Is this just a shameless publicity stunt?

    B: Yes.

    Questions and Answers, such as they are, by Bono. The boyo's not quite all there ... :cool:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    ―Oscar Wilde predicting Social Media, in The Picture of Dorian Gray
