Bono’s lovely letter

Echo & the Bunnymen – Rescue
Dearest Ian, Will et al. Bunnymen everywhere…
May 10th this year was a bit of a landmark for me. I turned 60 and from what I can tell I am alive and feeling very grateful to be so… I am also grateful to you and your songs for playing a role in getting me from there to here.
RESCUE is a great song/45/call for renewal and definitely made my life and times better.
I don’t think U2 would be as good as we are without Echo and the Bunnymen… You really raised the standard in what could be achieved by not ‘growing up’…
The guitars, bass and drum so unique, the production of the songs usually so deft and unobtrusive… The voice, the baritone, the bell canto, and the lips like sugar… and weedkiller when they had to be.
I remember the confidence of your early shows, in both production and stance… the giddiness, the giddy up-ness… I was so relieved to see you hadn’t lost any of that vocal/ lyrical power when I saw you on stage at Electric Picnic last year.
Stay safe in every other way.
Your fan,
Bono

The hYpe - Street mission

Dear you clowns, see what I did there?, made a pun, youse 2s couldn’t do they could you, another one for good measure. Thanks for your lovely letter Mr Bonko, Good Voice? Mines a lot better since I tried the Talcum Powder, and realised everyone was against me. Love the sound, if you keep it up you might be good, but I suppose you can keep copying us. I will follow? What’s that a statement or a fact? Where the streets have no name? Yeah they sodding do.

Keep it up you might be as cool as us.
