Answer Guy: What do I say to friends who don't like U2?
@U2,
August 10, 2003
 From: Sharon I go to a very small Catholic high school, and the whole populus is against U2, even my own friends!! What am I supposed to say to my friends, who are into Eminem, Ludacris, 50 cent, and Justin Timberlake, and to these other kids who we will just call "acquaintances," for the sake of censorship, who worship bands like Metallica, Kiss, and also happen to like Eminem? Even my rowing coach says that U2 doesn't have enough beat to work out to (which I happen to disagree with)! Please help me come up with a good comeback for those who so foolishly speak badly of U2! Dear Sharon: Sorry I couldn't respond sooner. Every time I've tried to reply, I fall into a fit of laughter when I see the words "rowing" and "work out" in the same sentence. Anyway, Answer Guy truly does empathize with you. I faced similar challenges in my younger days from so-called friends who managed to have the good sense to appreciate me but couldn't figure out how to appreciate the greatest band on the planet. I don't know if this will help or not, but here's a little inside story, just between us, about what I used to do in situations like you've described. It's actually a simple response, but it worked for me. If you choose to use it, I wish upon you the same success I had with this reply: "F--k off." Good luck with it!
From: Derek In the song "Peace on Earth," Bono sings the names of five people. Who are they? Sean and Julia, Gareth, Ann and Breda Famous people in Ireland, maybe? Dear Derek: Those are the names of just some of the victims of the Omagh bombing in 1998, which is what the song itself is written about.
From: R.D.H. Whose fish tank is that in the "One" Easter egg on the Best Of DVD? Dear R.D.H.: That's mine.
From: S.B. I just bought the U2: Faraway, So Close book by BP Fallon. Trouble is, I was born and currently reside in America and can't understand his lingo. What exactly does "natch" mean? Please be a lovely English professor and help!!! Dear S.B.: "Natch" is a slang word for "of course" or "naturally." But you knew that, natch.
From: Alice Is it true that all four band members (no pun suggested), auditioned for the frontal nude shot and that Adam won out because of his "superior form." Dear Alice: I asked around and Larry got really bent out of shape when he heard that part about "superior form." He wanted me to tell you that the answer is an emphatic NO.
