I've never been a Bono fan. Maybe it's not cool to admit this, but, I couldn't tell you one thing Bono has done other than preach and march for every 'cause' he has, which I am also not interested in. But, then I read that Bono got fucked up, and I mean really fucked up in a bike accident and he doesn't think he'll ever be able to play his guitar again. He fucked up his hand really bad and now has a titanium elbow. Fuck! I feel really bad for the dude. I know when people play guitar and they're good, the guitar becomes part of them, it's like it's growing from their side. They are rarely without it.
I don't know if it's like that with other instruments. I've seen good piano players that can just walk away when they're done playing. Guitar players aren't like that. Some of them literally sleep with their guitars in case they get inspiration in the middle of the night. My son was like that. Hell, I'm not even that good, but, my guitars are always right here behind my chair where I can touch them. It's not uncommon now for me to just be holding one when I have a conversation with someone. Strumming it unplugged. Or if some song comes on the computer, it doesn't even matter what it is, like, yesterday it was a shaving cream commercial with that old song 'Venus' and I thought, hey, I can play that and grabbed my guitar. I went six years without touching a guitar after my son died and now it's like I have a part of myself back when I pick one up. If I feel that way, can you imagine what someone like Bono is feeling? I seriously hope he's wrong and can get back to his guitar and his band. I wish him well.

All he needs is a red guitar three chords and the truth.
I'll ponder that, unless you want to expand.
Bloato - shut up and go home.
@mary_mary: Make me, cunt.
@Bono: You prove my point; thank you. Class act.
@ mary_mary: Any time, fuckface.
@Bono: You just keep digging your own grave. Bravo.
Google has decided to let us block troll IP's. I guess I should get in controls and read the instructions. Sigh.
