Spiderman: The Musical!


Your friendly neighborhood Bono, along with faithful sidekick "The Edge", will be writing a musical based on the life and times of the crime fighting arachnid . Completely true. Some Australian website is reporting it...so, its legit.

Anyway, the article has got some great quotes. The Blue Ribbon quote? I'm glad you asked:
[director Julie Taymor] doesn't care what it costs. Does not care at all. Her attitude is, it's for the art, and you don't question artists. Sources say the budget may have to drop to $35 million, but the show would still have to run successfully for 8000 years to break even.


I believe I am on roughly the same payment plan for my student loans. Unfortunately, that has nothing to do with "art" so, predictably, I am being peppered with questions. Some include:

"What the fuck were you thinking?"
"Where's your fancy diploma, now?"
" Lemme aks ya this, lemme aks you this: can you kick my ass?"

So to recap: Bono is terrible. That director woman is terribler. I am terriblest.

♫ Spiderman, Spiderman...♫
