MOVING SOUTH

August 27, 2007 --

 

REAL-estate brokers are awaiting the possible listing of Bono's San Remo duplex, now that he's headed downtown. Spies recently saw the rocker and his U2 bandmate, The Edge, entering the hot-pink-hued Julian Schnabel tower at 360 W. 11th St. with clipboards and brokers. Sources say he's taking the top two floors there. Bono bought his current Central Park West penthouse from Steve Jobs in 2003. He recently complained of smoke from neighboring apartments, which resulted in a ban on fireplace use.

 

 

:unsure:

 

 

BONO WINS SMOKING BAN

August 28, 2007

 

Just a day after rumors surfaced that Bono was moving out of his San Remo apartment, a source informed the New York Post that a ban had formerly been imposed to end all fireplace use in his building.

 

It was reported that he and Ali had previously complained about smoke coming into their apartment and requested a moratorium on fireplace use as a result.

 

No word yet on whether this new development will prevent the Hewsons from buying new digs.

U2 album recording 'going great'

Legendary producer and musician Daniel Lanois has revealed that big strides are being taken in the recording of U2's new album.

 

Daniel Lanois has been talking about his and Brian Eno’s involvement in the new U2 album, which he says is “going great.”

 

In an interview with Rolling Stone, the producer/artist reveals: “We’ve been invited as writers this time. I did three writing sessions with Eno and U2 — one in Fez, Morocco and two in France. We’re regrouping in November.”

 

He’s also thanked Bono and the chaps for letting him include footage from Morocco in his soon-to-be-released Here Is What Is documentary.

 

“They’re saying, ‘Lanois, you’re going to show us recording and we haven’t even put out a record yet, c’mon,’” he laughs. “I said, ‘Aw, please. We’re not going to give away anything and besides we’ve got twenty-five years together, throw me a biscuit.”

Luciano Pavarotti 1935 - 2007

 

“Some can sing opera, Luciano Pavarotti was an opera.

 

No one could inhabit those acrobatic melodies and words like him. He lived the songs, his opera was a great mash of joy and sadness; surreal and earthy at the same time; a great volcano of a man who sang fire but spilled over with a love of life in all its complexity, a great and generous friend.

 

Great, great fun, The Pavlova we used to call him. An emotional arm twister if he wanted you to do something for him he was impossible to turn down. A great flatterer.

 

When he wanted U2 to write him a song he rang our housekeeper, Theresa, continually so we talked about little else in our house.

 

When he wanted U2 to play his festival in Modena, he turned up in Dublin unannounced with a film crew, and door-stopped the band. His life and talent was large but his sense of service to the weak and vulnerable was larger.

 

We wrote Miss Sarajevo for him. He had worked on the humanitarian crisis that was the war in Bosnia. We travelled together on a UN air force flight to Mostar... all of us earnest in hard hats, just about strapped into this industrial aircraft with the big man handing out parmigiano from Reggio Emilia, “the best cheese in the world" he kept saying… deadpan… to make us laugh.

 

In Pesaro, in his summer house, he lived an almost bohemian life with a recording studio set up in an out house - but did all his vocals in his bedroom... there was a hammock hung between two marine pines for a siesta. He liked to eat, sleep and then warm up his vocals though I remember more eating than warming up. When we first recorded with him I left a stone heavier than I arrived.

 

Intellectually curious, couldn’t stick to his own generation - loved new ideas, new people, new song forms.

 

A sexy man whose life lit up again when he fell in love with Nicoletta and as he watched Alice play in the yard. He loved all his daughters so much.

The sadness of losing his only boy his only silence.

 

I spoke to him last week... the voice that was louder than any rock band was a whisper. Still he communicated his love. Full of love.

 

That's what people don't understand about Luciano Pavorotti. Even when the voice was dimmed in power, his interpretive skills left him a giant among a few tall men.”

Imbruglia keen on duet with 'Saint' Bono

 

Contact Music, September 05, 2007

 

 

 

 

Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia is desperate to duet with U2 legend Bono.

 

Imbruglia, 32, is a huge fan of the Irish supergroup and would love to join forces with the enigmatic frontman.

 

She says, "I certainly wouldn't say no if Bono called me and said: 'Hey, love, do you wanna do a song?' He's a modern day saint. He used his celebrity in a very responsible way and managed and managed to stay cool. "(I love) U2's 'Pride' - I wish I'd written that."
