    It's great to see an interviewer listen to his guests, let them talk freely, and build a great conversation. Adam is so cool and interesting. Great work, Tommy.

    I've been a fan of U2 for close to 40 years. This interview was excellent. It's really great to hear Adam be so personal and open. I get the feeling that he's a really good person, and I'm glad to see him doing so well.

    Came across U2 as a lost teenager in 1986 to say a band changed/saved my life is understatement. There are a couple of other guys in the band who get most of the air time so when Adam gives an interview it is a real treat. Thank you Adam.

    MY LETTER TO U2-1987
    I saw you guys on the Joshua Tree tour in 1987 at MTSU-Middle Tennessee State University Saturday November 28th 1987. The Bodeans opened up for you. I remember at the time Larry had a crush on Wynonna Judd and she came out and sang a duo with Bono!
    I didn't have tickets to the show. A friend of mine drove us 3 hours from East Tennessee to see the show. We bought tickets at the box office for $18.50. We ended up 8th row center stage!
    I remember back then the band held back tickets for fans who were willing to make the drive and couldn't get tickets via phone or record store locations.
    Thanks again to Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr for making a special album and tour! I was 18 and had just graduated High School that year!
    All the Best!
    Gary Lagstrom

    U2-WAR album: Drowning Man:
    Drowning Man is really a love letter to Adam Clayton from the band. He was not religious and was using drugs and drinking sporadically that became a problem when he missed a U2 show because he was drunk and couldn’t be found. In every U2 interview when each band member asks what’s their favorite U2 song without fail Adam always says: Drowning Man. Bono, Edge, and Larry were Christians and wanted to help Adam see there was a better way to live life and the power of a higher being! Boy, October, and War definitely show the band as a whole minus Clayton as believers in God and Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. So at its heart it’s about three guys wanting to see their band mate and friend stop drowning and this song is their life preserver to Adam.

    For me (55) U2 and I's relationship peaked at Joshua Tree. The connection with the music that came after that faded from then on. What has made them so interesting, as they have grown and evolved as artist and musicians is there are fans who Achtung is their peak, and even newer fans with newer albums. They continue to grow and change and age and new fans find them.

      There’s a massive drop off in quality from when their longtime collaborator and producer Steve Lillywhite left them.
      Their work with Brian Eno was when they were at their zenith, that “sound” that they morphed into post Rattle and Hum which made them sound so bravely different just disappeared when he no longer worked with them. Now all their work just sounds flat and uninteresting….and that is something you could never say about their earlier work right up to Zooropa.
