  3. 'Bono and I met BB King in Dublin and he said, Hey, you guys should write me a song. We said, Ah, yeah. I thought it was unlikely but a while later Bono said, Remember BB King? Well I've done this song and it's pretty good. We liked it so much we decided to use it on Rattle and Hum and asked B.B. if he'd join us.' -Edge speaking to Q Magazine, December 1998
