He tells Rolling Stone:
This dude, my friend, and I’m proud to say, my colleague – he changed music, he changed film, he changed the personal computer. It’s a wonderful encouragement to people who want to think differently, that’s where artists connect with him. … That anarchic West Coast “fuck off” attitude actually rules the 21st century. That’s what’s happening on the streets of Cairo, that’s what’s happening in North Africa – received wisdom is being balked at. A gnarly, singular point of view, like Steve Jobs, feels like a lighthouse spinning: When you’re in the fog, you just go, “I’ll go over there.”
No mention of the time they were driving on the 280 and smashing into people on purpose. I guess because that never actually happened. Oh well.
So is he insinuating that if he’s in a ship and it’s foggy that he’ll sail towards the lighthouse and crash against the rocks that the lighthouse is built on? Or that Steve Jobs was sort of like a lighthouse in that you saw him when you were in the fog and thought “oh heck, better not go that way or we’ll be smashed to bits on the rocks”.
Someone should tell Bono that metaphors aren’t wibbly balloons on sticks.

Have you seen the pix of that 300ZX I was trying to sell?
I hope I see that douchebag on the road the next time the accelerator on my Prius sticks…

Jeez, should Bono not be in Africa digging a well or something. God I hate that guy.
