U2 Hall of Fame Induction Speech

[BrianBouton 32]

(Apologies if this has already been brought up...)

 

I've always thought of the Uno, Dos, Tres...Quatorce as symbolic of the song taking/blasting off at the beginning and especially so after Springsteen's induction speech at the Hall of Fame:

 

"Uno, dos, tres, catorce. That translates as one, two, three, fourteen. That is the correct math for a rock and roll band. For in art and love and rock and roll, the whole had better equal much more than the sum of its parts, or else you're just rubbing two sticks together searching for fire. A great rock band searches for the same kind of combustible force that fueled the expansion of the universe after the big bang. You want the earth to shake and spit fire. You want the sky to split apart and for God to pour out."

 

The rest of the speech is just fan-fucking-tastic and I'd love to see Scott and Scott break it down further in some future episode.

That would make a lot more sense if 1 + 2 + 3 equaled 4.

It doesn't??? Christ, this explains why the IRS is constantly in touch.
