Edge on Ringtones


Stuck in a Moment, originally uploaded by dreadfuldan.

Short-form composers wanted - The Boston Globe: "U2's The Edge disagrees, contending that he sometimes decides whether he will like or dislike a person according to how their phone rings. Among his turnoffs: the theme from ''Swan Lake.'

''Music you do in private,' he says by phone. ''But ring tones become a public display, like a pair or sneakers or a T-shirt. People are going to use ring tones as a real expression of what they're about.'"

My Zooropa ringtone went off in church during my niece's Baptism...The Edge would have been so proud.
