We've dodged and we've dived and made some great work along the way and occasional faux pas, but this moment where we're at, to me, feels really close to the edge of irrelevance. We can be successful, we can play big music in big places, but whether we can play small music, for radio or clubs, remains to be seen. And we have to get to that place again, if we are to survive."

    :shock:
    :o :shock:

    Us fans would probably disagree with him. But I think the last time they made "small music, for radio or clubs", was probably during October or War.

    Bono says 'fuck' on live TV and people get mad. He's awesome.
