  • love this song! so many gems on Achtung Baby.

  • @Pheroine13

    Read "untill the end of the world", tells the story of how the album came about and follows U2 on the 2 yr tour, great book!

  • This is incredibly underrated song. I just love this song. It's a great song to sing to.

  • Or I can do what I am currently doing which is making use of pre-existing websites. There is a book in the works but I am pretty sure that I wont be able to publish it in Bono's lifetime. He is aware that I am writing the book.

  • @dublinbarterclub Like I said, write a book. You can even create your own web site if you are so inclined.

  • @TheMySideproject I would love to have Linda admit this in the media but she never will. It took her forever to admit it to me and she wasnt sorry, she merely said she needed the money and that was that. I got betrayed by the band and Linda in one night. Wow. it certainly changed my view of her and them and made me understand that money makes monsters of people.

  • @TheMySideproject It turned out that Adam detested Linda but he didnt want any 'loose ends' left around. He was the one who persuaded the rest of the band not to pay me. Linda denied for a long time that she had taken any money then in 1993 she admitted it. She only admitted it because her boyfriend Aidan was a decent soul who had heard of what had happened and put pressure on her to admit it to me.

  • @TheMySideproject Basically what happened is this.I met the band in a bar in Cork while in the comp[any of one Linda Murphy. Before the night was out and with a bit of drink in me, I suggested to the band that we do some songwriting. They found this amusing to say the least but humoured me and we spent 6 hours writing non-stop. At some point in the evening I saw one of the band pass Linda a piece of paper and i asked her what it was. She tried to tell me it was Adam's autograph

  • @TheMySideproject Have you any idea how hard it is to get the irish media to print a story without the sort of proof they need? I can understand their point of view. There was another person involved in all this who took a payment of 2,ooo pounds to agree not to testify against the band. It took her a long time to admit this. If she were to agree to talk to the media, then it would be a done deal.

  • @dublinbarterclub I think you can reach more people by calling the news or writing a book about it...
