Bono: Radiohead just looked at the pop machine and the machinations of pop and just said, we don't have it in us, we don't have the energy, to have our way with that. I don't hear [Radiohead's] Thom Yorke singing on the radio. I want to hear Radiohead, extraordinary band that they are, on MTV. I want them setting fire to the imaginations of 16, 15, 14 year old kids. I was 14 when John Lennon set fire to my imagination. At that age, you're just [angry], and your moods swing, and it's an incredible time to be hit with something like that. I don't blame them [for not wanting to be on MTV]. But I think, what would my life be like without the Beatles? If the Beatles had just kept going on experimenting after "Sgt. Pepper," I'd be interested to hear it, of course …

Ah, idiot, han vil bare at Radiohead skal skal selge seg til popbransjen og bli så kommerse som mulig, akkurat som U2.  Jeg syns U2 er bare triste, de har bare solgt seg helt totalt (eks egen  i-pod edition), de har jo ikke noe identitet i det hele tatt lengre. Før var de i hvertfall litt bedre.

Jeg sier ikke at RAdiohead er totalt ukommerse, men U2 sine spor er ikke noen de burde følge i.
