Courtney Love on 'Bono Talk' I found this at a Radiohead site:



You met The Strokes recently. What advice did you give them?



"Lots of top secret advice. You'll have to ask them."



Which one's your favourite?



"I liked them all. I liked the Hammond kid. He's smart, a hustler in a good way, and Julian reminds me of me in this weird way. Maybe me when I was 20 crossed with Joey Ramone. Like sort of a shitkicker fucker but totally nice. But people don't know if he's nice and he's schlumpy in a cute way. I brought Winona and, you know, in the great Americana tradition (with her not having heard a word of hype and without context) I watched as her hair stood on end her eyes glazed over and she uttered, barely audibly, 'Jesus... not... since... The... Replacements... '. If Winona loves you, it's a moment. She's sort of one of the bridges you have to cross to greatness. But then I had a sort of quibble with Julian about the 'Bono Talk' when it comes and how when it was my turn and Kurt's turn for the 'Bono Talk' we were idiots and turned him away and were too embarrassed. I sort of begged Kurt to take the 'Bono Talk' because, fuck it, if I had listened to it I'd have avoided a buttload of trouble for myself. And Julian sort of made a face about the 'Bono Talk' and Winona got up and said, 'That's fucking it. I'm out of here. Bono's family to me. Fuck this, fuck you,' and I had to calm her down with one hand and say, 'Look, Winona, when you come from punk the "Bono Talk" freaks you out. Ease him in. Don't get all huffy - he's a punker kid.' So, I was holding her hand and holding his hand and I said 'You know, I'm a little bit older than you.' Julian points to Winona and me and says, 'I'm just fucking overwhelmed.' And I was like, 'Dude, there are supermodels back here who probably breast-fed you and you're overwhelmed?! Get over it.' And that's sort of it. I wonder if his tale is different than mine. There's more to it, but that's as much as I'm going to put into an overlong article."



I am still confused at what Bono talk is but if you want to read more of the interview go to [URL=http://www.nme.com/features/story.htm?ID=51825]
