‘I walk through walls / I float down the Liffey’
is a lyric from Radiohead’s most Dublin track. A very unsettling number about the time when Thom Yorke, staying in the Clarence Hotel during a tour, had a nightmare that he woke up during the night, went for a walk around his room, and on opening a closet, encountered a shocking visage - a white faced Bono, with his eyes closed, all made up as undertakers would a corpse before a funeral.
Imagine his shock when he discovered that it wasn’t a nightmare at all - it really was fecking Bono! Playing a prank, assisted, no doubt, by his mates Gavin Friday and Guggi.
Pleasant dreams, guys and girls.
