this is not an attempt to rekindle the Savage Garden thread, and I apologise
in advance if that's what happens.
I was reading through this old Rolling Stone today and they had this article
on Savage Garden. The guys were talking about seeing U2 at the Sydney
Popmart and how nervous they were to meet them. Anyway I thought you might
find this interesting or funny, but there's a cool quote at the end.
"Darren Hayes [lead singer of Savage Garden] was thinking that Bono was a
wise old man, a wizard. The icon was talking about life, how he searches
every day for new insipiration, music, their show, and Hayes was rapt, once
more the little boy in love with a mysterious extra-terrestrial. And then he
started telling Bono how he felt, like a rag doll that had been twisted
around too much. How sometimes after a show he considered himself a
prostitute because he had to give so much from his soul to every person in
that room.
Bono leaned closer to Hayes and grabbed his hand, putting it to his chest.
Hayes could feel the pulmonary kick of the Irishman's heartbeat. And then he
spoke: 'As long as the music comes from here,' he said, pushing Hayes' hand
harder against his chest, 'then it's going to scream louder than any of the
kids will.'"
Hel :o)
