Springsteen inducts U2 into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Springsteen on Bono (and to an extent himself):
Read the entire speech here.....Shaman, scheister, one of the greatest and most endearingly naked messianic
complexes in rock and roll. God bless you, man! It takes one to know
one, of course.
You see every good Irish and Italian-Irish frontman knows that
before James Brown, there was Jesus. So hold the McDonald arches on
the stage set, boys, we are not ironists. We are creations of the
heart, and of the earth, and of the stations of the cross. There's no
getting out of it.
