U2 - The Definitive Biography

#author.John Jobling

#notes.//
The story starts with Larry, who was looking to start a band. Then Adam came, but I got confused when they started talking about David and Paul. I was trying to read kinda fast and lots of people were being introduced. Eventually, I figured out that David played the part of the Edge and Paul played the part of Bono.

What immediate hit was how they are like every other Act that made it big. Luck. Randomness. Hard-work. Determination.

They were not really that good. Then some random event made them popular locally and they had gigs, the 10000 hours of practice that they needed, more random luck, lots of people who believed in them and worked hard to make them bigger.

SPOILER ALERT!

The corridor is also named the Way, an east.asian mysticism connection to The Way/Tao/Dao.

The story has an inner-space narrative like the Matrix, with the Way being both the Matrix Space and the Hyperspace connection to other.alternative Universes.

In several realities, there is a nuclear apocalypse.

I was in Germany! Probably both of us hiding in a books.Marlene

Basically, the book is a detective novel of sorts with the added twist of making copies of yourself and putting them into physical avatars: clay people -- the title, kiln people, hardening of clay to stone.

Not even sure if I watched the entire movie. I just remember the line, "it's not a toomer". This was probably around the time I was indoctrinated with many memorable quotes from my filmophilic friends.

Other quotes from that era,
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum."

or as my friends said "And I'm fresh out of bubblegum"
