I am sure Joyce found that to be true as well.

Better the question than the man hisself. Oi, Bono... NO!!!

Shouldn't people be finding U2 fossils by now?

BTW, djm, IMHO that was rude, man.

Sonny Bono?

I'm not pretending to be confused here. Who the heck is Bono?

Here's a suggestion. There are many worthy variations on this tactic. Next time you're asked that question try answering with enormous enthusiasm: Not Bono, no. But I knew Frank Harte who taught him everything he knew.

Then sit back and wait. In 6 months time Mojo will run a feature article on how Bono learned his style from little-known Dublin singer Frank Harte but won't admit it now the secret is out.

Bono is the singer/frontman for the rock group U2.

Superb idea Wombat.
I've always wanted to be the source of an International scandal.
Frank Harte has done more for the reputation of Dublin than Bono ever has so it would be a classic case of two birds with one stone

dubhlinn.

I thought you'd like it Dubh.

Since when has justice been both educational and fun?

Tha's very true Flanum.
Dublin has always been a very classless place where you are taken for what you are as opposed to who you are.
I can remember one evening in Mulligans of Poolbeg street when meself, two bus drivers - off duty i hoped - David Norris and Brendan Keanealy had a great crack in a fast flowing conversation that covered Oliver St. John Gogarty, Bob Dylan, Planxty and the price of the beer amongest other things.

My plan is to be in the Cobblestones next saturday night.I'm six foot,bearded and wear a black leather jacket and herself , well I don't know what she'll be wearing but seeing that she is all of 4' 10'' we should not be hard to spot if you are there.I'll probably be there a few times during the week - Mrs. and sisters permitting :roll: - so keep your eyes open.

I was on a skipjack on the St. Mary's River yesterday. (Visiting daughter in college--family weekend.) The boat's captain was a waterman by the name of Jack Russell. Naturally, more than one of the passengers had something to say about that and he, remarkably, at 62, still delivered his retort with no hint of disgust: "When I was born, my mother took one look at me and said 'this world's going to the dogs.'"
