larry or bono? adam or the edge?
Today, over brunch at the Nuns Pool at Shelley Beach, I played "who would you rather sleep with" with Nic, inspired by her successful session with Luke and Luisa.
We started off serious: George Bush or John Howard? John Howard or Kevin Rudd? Tony Abbott or Peter Costello? Kevin Rudd or Bob Brown (def Bob) etc. Um, Peter Garrett or Bob Brown (hard one, probably PG).
Then I asked Nic, Larry or Bono? I'd arranged for her to collect me from the airport with her U2 cds playing and quizzed her about the concert(s); and we discussed reasons for loving Bono, his humanitarianism, inspiration behind lyrics and so forth.
But, no matter all that, for everytime the question was posed to me, I chose Larry. Yes, pretty boy, dour Larry, he of the the impossibly eternal youth appearance. Bono, such a charismatic engaging force of life, but I would rather sleep with Larry.
Then we turned our attention to some of our mutual acquaintances, tee hee. Danny or Scoops, (S), Dave or Danny (DT); in all instances our motivators were interesting. We didn't want to jeapordise our friendship with Danny; just as we only wanted to "talk"to Bono.
Which led us discussing his habit of interacting with females at concerts, what it must be like for the girl/woman pulled out of the audience. Would you melt or be mortified if he put his hat on your head, knelt and sang to you? (as for Sydney 2006) or would you prefer him to pull you to his side and hug you whilst you both lay on the ground (see you tube)?
So far, all votes go to latter; Gretska thinks that it would probably leave you a blathering mess, talking all night and quite possibly never able to find love in the free world....
