Bono & Captain Beefhart
« on: December 31, 2011, 01:30:11 AM »
Just read this on twitter

annual reminder that Bono wrote to Captain Beefheart asking to collaborate, & Beefheart sent back a letter that just said, "Dear Bongo, no."

I choose to believe that this is true.

It wasn't a mistake, it was chromaticism, I swear.
