U2-A Diary

Have a look at this article:

U2′s Unforgettable Fire (Part 1)

Specifically, scroll down to the April 12, 1985, entry.

I looked it up, and Christy Turlington would’ve been 16; Naomi Campbell would’ve been 14. There’s just no way. I’m gonna assume that’s a typo or some such thing.

Plus, in U2 by U2, Bono says the first time he met Turlington was the Vogue magazine cover shoot in 1992. As a male, I have to believe you’d have no trouble remembering the first time you met Christy Turlington. :)

… was a Horslips gig in the town of Skerries somewhere around 1975 or 1976.

Little did I know that Edge (and Bono) appear in a Horslips documentary DVD called Return of the Dancehall Sweethearts, which you can read about on the Horslips web site. Maurice Linnane, ex-Dreamchaser guy, did the documentary.

You can download an excerpt with Edge’s comments here.

I don’t think I’ll ever track down the dates of Bono’s and Edge’s interviews, and it’s probably not worth the time to try, but this is a perfect discovery to file under “the things you learn.”
