didn't bono once say something to the effect of "if you're not wasted, the day is"

or maybe it was all just a dream from the people on the ground

but i do love those brightly colored lights beaming off of the stage and into the heavens above

the air that day might have been a lost cause...but it sure made for an interesting night

It’s seems unlikely Adam was involved with this as he’s been on the wagon for a long time. I can imagine bono has done a few class A’s though. Presumably while god wasn’t looking.

I've always been curious about what their experiences with drugs were.  Bono seemed to dodge it in Bono on Bono (called various other things depending on the country).  I always figured they were tame with the worst incidents being Adam getting caught with pot and missing a single show due to a hangover- although i do know he's got an issue with the booze.  I know Bono likes his wine, and i would assume most members smoke tweeds on occasion, but i never really took them for coke users.

Well, there's the interview with Edge talking about shrooms...and he describes it so well. But, I never thought they were into coke. Who knows? And, really, who cares? We are what we are...

That’s part of the stuff I don’t really want to know.

I like to believe they tried stuff, but remained « healthy », in general.

That said, Adam’s been very open about his (past) booze issues. Bono certainly is a drinker and he has not aged too well these past few years... especially when you take into account he probably has an army of doctors / coaches / dieteticians...at his disposal.
A dangerous idea that almost makes sense...

I was always a fan for Oasis to go back on drugs.  Although i still don't think they've ever put out a bad album- except maybe their last.

Ladies, please.

Being that rich and famous and hanging around other people that rich and famous they’ve blatantly enjoyed recreational drugs.

If I was that rich and famous I’d be doing coke with lesbian strippers dressed as a nun. Every. Single. Night.

There's nothing sexy about nuns.   Air hostesses on the other hand...

Your choice of costume isn't.  I can't comment on your sex appeal dear, since I haven't seen you.

As I said I'd prefer an air hostess complete with dainty hat.
