We missed this the first time. Evan Rachel Wood trying to mollify Bono’s humorlessness when writing music for Julie Taymor’s “Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark,” Broadway musical. Funny…
“Bono and the Edge are doing the music. It was hysterical, I got to do the workshop, sit down with them playing guitars going over the music, and I was making jokes going, watch by the end of this, I’ll be telling them what to do. And by the end I was! I was like, ‘Bono, I know you want to save the world and everything, but in this song you’re talking about poverty and world hunger and it’s Broadway, can we lighten this up a bit, can I just not sing this?’ And he was like, [in Irish accent] ‘You’re right, I know, we have to try, we have to try.’”
