According to an interview in Q magazine of December 2005 Bono will play the role of Doctor Robert in an upcoming musicalmovie about the Beatles.
It's ofcourse very hard to impersonate our Dr Robert but Bono might be up to it if he puts in all his forces.
I also think it's interesting that Bono is also replaced in 1990 after the Lovetowntour..they left a lot of clues to that.....
Here's the piece of the article:
"Q:But as well as being a statesman , now you're getting into films.
Bono: Yes, Julie Taymor is making a musical of Beatles songs called Across The Universe.
The main character is Jude from Liverpool.
He goes to America and he ends up in riots in Detroit.
I'm this character Dr Robert, an acid guru from Haight-Ashbury, and I get to sing I Am The Walrus with The Secret Machines".
And coincidentally The Secret Machines are one of my ( and Bowie's) favorite recent bands.
You can hear some of their songs streaming at www.thesecretmachines.com this will be very interesting.
I'll leave you with the curious lyrics of their song Lights On from their 2004 debut.
"Somewhere there's a record of your whereabouts
Everywhere you go you leave a trace
You're curled up under the light
With shadows of the fallen
And everyone you've known
That's been replaced
But the light's on
And you're waiting for the signal
The light's on
The light's your place to hide
The light's on
You don't know just who your friends are
The light's on
And its light you'll never know
Hanging from the rings around your finger
Hiding from the hammer holding fist
The light's on"
All Love Jan
