Bono On Radiohead
The most recent issue of Hot Press magazine includes an interview with U2's Bono, from which comes this excerpt:
Interviewer: One of the several reasons I have for disliking Radiohead is Thom Yorke harping on about how anti-corporate they are while happily letting EMI sell their new CD for twenty quid a pop.
Bono: I have to say I'm the one who's always mourning the lack of Radiohead on pop radio because I long to hear Thom Yorke's voice and I long to hear a band as able as that up against, you know, Blue," he insists. "I can't blame Radiohead from pulling back from the fray. You have to have a stomach for it. It's a lot to swallow, but not your pride and not your dignity. Just the amount of work and annoyance and negotiating the machine called pop music. Sometimes you want to just make a more private, personal document of your life. Whatever they want to do, I will work on their road crew. If they had a cellist, I'd carry the cello on my back. They can do whatever they want in my book and it's alright with me. They're that good.
