MY LETTER TO U2-1987
I saw you guys on the Joshua Tree tour in 1987 at MTSU-Middle Tennessee State University Saturday November 28th 1987. The Bodeans opened up for you. I remember at the time Larry had a crush on Wynonna Judd and she came out and sang a duo with Bono!
I didn't have tickets to the show. A friend of mine drove us 3 hours from East Tennessee to see the show. We bought tickets at the box office for $18.50. We ended up 8th row center stage!
I remember back then the band held back tickets for fans who were willing to make the drive and couldn't get tickets via phone or record store locations.
Thanks again to Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr for making a special album and tour! I was 18 and had just graduated High School that year!
All the Best!
Gary Lagstrom

Best interview i've heard in a long time. I could listen to these guys all day. They're oozing creativity, and the landscapes and pictures they paint with their words and tone is beautiful. Shame we didn't hear more from Adam and Larry because they are equal to Bono and Edge. I hope the legacy of U2 lasts forever

Bonoās comments on the lyric for where the streets have no name really interest me. Thereās a scene in from the sky down in which Bono says that you canāt be intellectually proud when writing/āreceivingā a lyric and implies that you sometimes get a lyric thatās apparently beneath your best workāor at least simpler than your mindās highest pretensions. Itās not just Bono. In Bridge Over Troubled Water, Paul Simon also wondered if he was writing too simply or below his capacity with lines like, āwhen youāre weary / feeling smallā... yet thereās this perfection of a a divine comfort speaking directly to the soul.
Some writerās feel that what requires too much labour and revision probably isnāt worth keeping. Others think rewriting is really what itās all about. Then thereās this other thing that happens and you take it down as it comes... and sometimes itās very direct and simple and comprehensible. It doesnāt advertise your capacities or depreciate them. Itās something else. It fascinates me.

U2 is the band of my life. When I need time to forget this hard and complicated life, they give me strength, hope, joy, and above all, the desire to continue living, fighting and never giving up. I love you
