Bono once said, "We're lucky. What we do for a living happens to be absolutely the top of the pyramid of experiences. We all aspire the condition of music because it is the language of the spirit. I don't know of any other experience like it... other than being in love, because music is a force of love. Even when music is angry, if it's ringing true, then it's a force of love. If somebody is coughing up their real experiences in order to make sense of them, then that's an amazing thing. |  |
