A brief interview with Bono was aired on MTV ITALY during MTV Week In
Rock. There was also Edge (big black hat on), but didn't speak; Bono had
glasses with red lenses and looked quite serious... This is what he said:

"It's time to make a record that is very direct and is about exactly what's
going on, however cool or uncool that might be. It's time...At this point in
the week, in the century, in the millennium, it's time for actually no pose,
no poise... Just rock, uncool... That's really what I think we're gonna
make.... I have this idea in my head, just to write as if you're dead...'cos
when you're dead, you know, you don't care what people think and just go and
say what you have to say".

That's all... I have to say Bono's idea is very thrilling; for what is
worth,
I completely agree with him about directness... And I think also other fans
have had the same point of view in these last weeks ;-)

<The weight of this sad time we must obey;
Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say...>

Ciao...
