Bono Lauds America
ContactMusic.com reports U2 frontman Bono gets upset when he hears about other musicians complaining about having to travel to America to perform. “Waking up in Memphis, Tennessee, where Stax was born, or where Elvis Presley cut ‘Mystery Train’ or where Martin Luther King was shot dead is not crap. America is just full of possibilities. Nobody buys their cars anymore so it gets angry and Eminem happens – one of the great writers of the age comes out of Detroit.”
