"When I asked Bono last fall which band he sees as the role model for U2, he immediately answered, "The Beatles. Dare I make the comparison? I don't -- but I'm not afraid of the Beatles. You need people to jump at. The 'White Album' is still the blueprint for me. It was all there -- the songs, the ideas, the disciplined songwriting right next to the mayhem. It's mindblowing.""
