I had never seen these two:

As Stephen Averill says in this video here, it was just the record company being overly cautious and since it was the bands first album, they didn't have the say that they would've had later in their career. It pretty much became the albums worldwide cover anyway. Interestingly, he says that the label hated the title HTDAAB but the band had the final say.

Currently watching the interview with Charlie Rose. Honestly, it's a bit refreshing to see Bono in an interview that isn't a late-night talk show. At about a half hour in there isn't anything shocking or new, but definitely interesting stuff regarding Bono's inspirations/motivations behind his writing and how he's been coping with being unable to play the guitar.
