Bono, in my humble opinion, should do a spoken word record. He really reads well and his voice is still one of a kind in the reading. Jim Morrison did one, An American Prayer, so why should Bono not do one 'not to touch the earth/not to touch the sun'? I hope to do a spoken word record myself some day soon, broadcast from the moon. Those two, Jim and Bono, know their approach, their audience. It almost seems effortless for them. Years of good coffee? You can almost hear the grinding of the beans in the background. Who says a spoken word record doesn't have an aroma? That's amoré!!! (Or, amore, in Italian, without the accent mark). A sense of wonder.

Would love to hear Bono and Van together.
