I saw when Jimmy mentioned the crash. I think U2 was on the first episode when Jimmy took over from Jay Leno, performing on the roof. I remember Mike D of the Beastie Boys had a bad bicycle accident years ago. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Bono: 'I May Never Play Guitar Again' By Jason Newman | January 2, 2015 U2 frontman Bono posted a 6,000-word A to Z summation of 2014 to U2.com, revealing that the massive bike injury he suffered last year may prevent him from ever playing guitar again. . "Recovery has been more difficult than I thought," the singer wrote. "As I write this, it is not clear that I will ever play guitar again. The band have reminded me that neither they nor Western civilization are depending on this. I personally would very much miss fingering the frets of my green Irish falcon or my (RED) Gretsch. Just for the pleasure, aside from writing tunes. But then does the Edge, or Jimmy Page, or any guitarist you know have a titanium elbow, as I do now? I'm all elbows, I am." As proof, the singer used his "X" entry to post a X-ray photo of the titanium rod currently inserted in his elbow. . The singer, who's prepping for a multinational tour beginning May 14th, opened his post looking back on the injury that left him with multiple fractures in his face, shoulder and arm. "For the last few weeks I haven't been able to move around physically so I have more than made up for it by leaving my mind to wanderlust, untethered except electronically," he wrote, adding that the post was an "attempt to learn from mistakes - the first of which is the discovery that I am not an armored vehicle. . "The consequences of this freak accident are significant enough that I will have to concentrate hard to be ready for the U2 tour in fitness terms," added the singer. "As a result I have cancelled every public appearance and decided this missive is all the communication I can manage for the first half of 2015, beyond muttering and singing to myself of course." . The singer expounded on a wide range of issues, including the support and achievements of his wife and children, his various philanthropic pursuits and Jimmy Fallon ("The second coming of the late show.") With Bono himself writing, "This is too long. You should not have time to read this," here are some of the most insightful things we learned from the post: . On Bloggers . On Capitalism . On The Edge . On the Word "Fuck" . On Songs of Innocence' iTunes Release . On Kanye West . On Songs of Innocence Criticism .
