drink up until the point just before making a cock out of yourself. When you find yourself talking to someone and have no idea what the words coming out of your mouth are then it's time to
Exactly...know when you are about to cross the line. I always stop before that point. Never have been drunk and never will be.
That's difficult sometimes...saying goodbye is hard thing. Listen to Kite...
I listened to Kite and I cried.... my God how those lyrics spoke to me. Me and my senior friends will meet uo again, just where and when is unknown. Although the song that spoke to me the most was Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own. The seniors were there for me when I was down. They understood anything if there was a problem. Maybe it's that I haven't found the right kids to talk to in my grade.

That's why Kite is so good..the melody, the lyrics, the feeling...just everyhting. Actually my favourite U2-song.
Goodluck with it mate! 'Every little thing, is gonna be allright'...Bob Marley
Treasure (whatever happened to Pete the Chop?) from Into the Heart by Niall Stokes
"Pete the Chop was a friend of Andrew Whiteway, one of the band's earliest management associates. 'Andrew had great fun working with us and avoiding whatever he was supposed to be doing in Trinity College,' Edge explains. 'He had a couple of friends come over when we played London, and one of them turned out to be Pete the Chop. After the show he came up to us and said I think you should write a song about me. And so we did.'
It was the most pop thing U2 had ever written and when their manager, Paul McGuinness, heard the demo, he thought, 'that's a hit single'. The people at Island felt the same.
'We said, nobody's ever going to hear it,' Bono recalls, 'because it would bury the band. And Paul used to get very pissed off that we weren't releasing the song.'
'It was very melodic,' The Edge adds, 'but not really very good.'
'So eventually we minced it,' Bono laughs. 'We turned it around, played it backwards, just sort of fucked it in the ear, and called it 'Whatever Happened to Pete the Chop?'.
That, according to The Edge, was in the days when U2's albums were Top 30 but there was no sign of a hit single. 'The new title was a reference to the record company guys who were always saying to Paul McGuinness, 'Whatever happened to "Pete the Chop"? Remember that hit song? (laughs)'
Appropriately, 'Treasure' was the B-side of "New Year's Day", the band's breakthrough single in the UK, which was produced by Steve Lillywhite and released in January 1983"

"I'll tell you, you learn a lot about women from dressing up in women's clothes! You learn that when a woman asks you 'Do I look alright?' what she's really saying is 'I have just spent a lot of time making myself uncomfortable. If I go out in this condition will I look foolish, or is it worth it?'"
