Bono & The Edge & Their Wives

I’m not sure why I initially posted this pic. and I’m not sure exactly what to say about it. I was scratching about the Internet for the lyrics to Red Hill Mining Town, a song I’ve always loved from U2’s The Joshua Tree, when I thought, “I wonder if The Edge is married?” which lead me to Wikipedia and then scratching about for images of Morleigh Steinburg, The Edge’s wife since 2002 and girlfriend since 1993. And then there’s Ali Hewson, Bono’s wife since 1982. A rock star married to the same woman for over 30 years…hmmm… Maybe the lesson here is that having a wife can be cool.

The seam is split
The coal face cracked
The lines are long
There’s no going back
Through hands of steel
And heart of stone…

The glass is cut
The bottle run dry
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night
We’re wounded by fear
Injured in doubt
I can lose myself
You I can’t live without…
