And yet with every record, I think, 'Is this it? Are we still relevant?'

  Bono

  Honesty, Successful, Thinking

  Bono

  Father, People, Trying

  Bono

  Movie, Running, Children

  6 Copy quote

• What turns me on about the digital age, what excited me personally, is that you have closed the gap between dreaming and doing. You see, it used to be that if you wanted to make a record of a song, you needed a studio and a producer. Now, you need a laptop.
