Does Bruce Springsteen want to play my guitar? I downloaded this U2 Live performance of B.E. King's oldie "Stand By Me" a while ago but never bothered to listen to it. Well, it guests Bruce Springsteen and has some ranting by Bono in the beginning of it. I think it's from their 1987 Joshua Tree tour.
This all reminds me of a Bono joke that I once read somewhere:The Joke:Hahahah...whoooo...the weekend's here!
When Stevie Ray Vaughn died, he was greeted at the pearly gates by Jimi Hendrix. Stevie was, needless to say, awestruck, especially when Jimi showed him around Rock and Roll heaven. They walked by a room, and inside was Janis Joplin, swimming in Southern Comfort.
"WOW" said Sevie, "that's Janis Joplin!!"
"Yeah" said Jimi.
They next passed a room with Elvis inside, surrounded by bananas and bread, he was furiously making fried banana sandwiches. Stevie was, again, awestruck. The next room contained Jim Morrison with stacks of paper around him, some laced with acid, others covered by Morrison's poetry drivel. Stevie smiled and decided hew was going to enjoy it there.
The next room they passed had Bono (lead singer of U2) inside, and he was admiring himself in a mirror, doing his hair.
"WAIT!" faltered Stevie, "Bono's not dead yet!!"
"No no no," said Jimi, "That's God, he just thinks he's Bono!"
Song of the Day:
1.) U2 - Stand by Me, featuring The Supervisor.
