The Dunphy book is the only place I've found this mentioned, and given all the errors in the book, that's the reason I'm hoping for another source to corroborate what he wrote. :) Thanks for that, Gunter.

(cont. from post above) The story about the disco "The Web" is placed in Pauls(Bono) chapter near the end. In order to attract the attention of his classmate Zandra, Bono started a disco club in an old schoolhouse of a church. Zandras father was the pastor of this church (sorry, i forgot the name), and Zandra was at that time the girlfriend of Reggie Manuel,one of Bono best friends. This must have happend in the year of 73/74, before Maeve became Bonos new girlfriend. The end of the relationsship with Zandra also meant the end of "The Web". 5.) (cont. from post above)
