The lads have definitely been photoshopped. And where is Adam??

Anna,
You come and ask me, girl,
To set you free, girl,
You say he loves you more than me,
So I will set you free,
Go with him.
Go with him.

Anna,
Girl, before you go now,
I want you to know, now,
That I still love you so,
But if he loves you mo',
Go with him.

I got the issue in yesterday but didn't realize they were in it til just now. Mostly talks about Bono's recovery, and Bono says there seems to be a lot of joy around and everyone's in a good mood. At the end though, Bono talks about those 4 albums, says he expects to release a new album in time for the NA tour, and says, "That's going to be great. Those people are going to have tickets to a whole new show with new songs."
The last paragraph makes me smile, he really is in good spirits!

"This could be our heyday," Bono raves with the same broad smile he had on the plane. "Maybe we just needed a little pause."

In B4 Bono lies all the time posts ...

Has Bono ever expressed anything except unreserved optimism about U2 or an upcoming album?

"Uh, yeah, we really are at a lowpoint in our career and I have a bad feeling the next release is going to be a major flop. But that's life, you know? You win some, you lose some."

"The Edge? Well, he's not so much 'on fire' as a damp mess of a man who can't strike an E-chord without getting the shakes"

Reverse psychology. I like it. Bono should try it.

Bono: "Well, you know, Edge's been spilling chords like BP recently, he's so flat right I know I had to resort to teaching him how to play the guitar again ... and he's been hitting as many good notes as George W. Bush has had coherent speeches so, don't hold your breath. Oh yeah, and I tried to break Larry's fingers when he tried to convince me that Passengers was a bad idea, so he won't be back for a while."

[LoveSupreme]

LOL @ the reverse psychology.  4 albums?! 
Has anyone thought of putting Bono on Ritalin?
Just slip it into his tea when he's not looking. 
God bless him.

[Raiborne]

I miss the old Rolling Stone covers 

[TheEdgeIn4D~Too much is NOT enough! {T-PEP}]

Bono: "Well, you know, Edge's been spilling chords like BP recently,

LMAO! Gosh I love you Lemon. You always crack me up!

homing_pidgeon, I liked yours too!

[lissie]

LOL everyone.
Yeah Bono seems to have nothing but high hopes for a lot of stuff, but I'm just happy he's remain intact since his back.
