The BOSS & U2

"Uno, dos, tres, catorce. That translates as one, two, three,fourteen. That is the correct math for a rock and roll band. For in art and love and rock and roll, the whole had better equal much more than the sum of its parts or else you're just rubbing two stickstogether searching for fire. "

One of the best articles I have read about Rock ......... and written by the BOSS ................ while inducting U2 to the Hall of Fame of Rock n Roll. He says about Bono ....... "He is gifted with an operatic voice and a beautiful falsetto rare among strong rock singers. But most important, his is a voice shot through with self-doubt. That's what makes that big sound work. It is this element of Bono's talent, along with his beautiful lyric writing, that gives the often-celestial music of U2 its fragility and its realness. It is the questioning, the constant questioning in Bono's voice, where the band stakes its claim to its humanity and declares its commonality with us." Very interesting ........ read the complete speech at Bruce Sprinsteen on U2
