U:2 EVERYDAY PEOPLE
“People are always trying to make us something. Why won’t they accept us as being four people? There's no plan to the group. The music’s a reflection of the four people...People want singers, especially, to take their clothes off in public.

“People are always trying to make us something. Why won’t they accept us as being four people? There's no plan to the group. The music’s a reflection of the four people...People want singers, especially, to take their clothes off in public. I do it every night. Maybe I have to do it, because I’m just that type of person. I have to do it because I’m trying to understand what’s going on in my life.”
Bono, CREEM, 1983
Just four ordinary guys from Dublin, Ireland, in an extraordinary position only a handful of other just plain folk have been able to achieve; folks like four lads from Liverpool and that guy from New Jersey. U2 has the power to electrify the world and launch rock ’n’ roll into a new era.
“It was never our intention to have the #1 album or be on the cover of Time magazine,” said Bono at U2’s Michigan appearance earlier in the summer. The band’s fifth studio effort, The Joshua Tree, should prove to be the most important album of 1987, but Bono says the best is yet to come. Until that time, The Joshua Tree has exceeded all expectations.
