    Bono doesn't seem to like the message.

    Would you?

    Originally posted by BonoEvery day I die again, and again I'm reborn
    Every day I have to find the courage
    To walk out into the street
    With arms out
    Got a love you can't defeat
    Neither down or out
    There's nothing you have that I need
    I can breathe
    Breathe now

    This is Bono's reaction to the Jehova-man.

  2. I like that explanation
  3. Does Bono himself count as a traveling salesman? Because I definitely wouldn't turn him away if he rang my doorbell tomorrow at 9:05.


  4. He's said on numerous occasion that he sees himself as a bit of a traveling salesman. And he does come from a long line of them on his mother's side.


  5. If he rings my doorbell tomorrow I'll be at school
    Oh wait a second "uggghhh I'm sick..."


  6. It's 9:05 pm.

    Why would he visit a long line of travelling sales people on his mother's side at night?

    Thinking of it: why does he mention his mother?
  7. Happy Breathe-day everyone
  8. Btw, does the song actually has to do something with the book Ulysses ?
    Cause it's all about events on the 16th of june.
    I haven't read it so I'm just asking Maybe Bono was inspired by it...?

    He's got Kite and Sometimes for his father so maybe he decided it was time to write songs about his mother
    Remember he wouldn't buy just anyone's cockatoo
