Quotes about Larry from the early days: |
Bono "My earliest memory of Larry was when we were starting off. We were at our first rehearsal in his kitchen and all these girls, all these 14 and 15 year old girls kept climbing over the walls and looking in at the window at Larry. Larry just shouted at them to go away and then turned the hose on them. He's not interested in being a pop star." |
