What I like about pop music, and why I'm still attracted to it, is that in the end it becomes our folk music.
BonoI used to love Kurt Cobain, when he was telling people we're a pop band. People would laugh, they thought of it as good old ironic Kurt. But he wasn't being ironic.
BonoIt's much easier to be successful than it is to be relevant. The tricks won't keep you relevant. Tricks might keep you popular for a while, but in all honesty, I don't know how U2 will stay relevant. I know we've got a future. I know we can fill stadiums. And yet with every record, I think, 'Is this it? Are we still relevant?'
BonoI'm home a lot. Because I live in Ireland, we can live under the celebrity radar. I might go missing for a whole year.
