[lbo-talk] PR History Question

[Jeffrey Fisher]

back in 92, I saw U2's ZOOTV arena show in new haven. they had a 
studded trabant that hung suspended above the middle of the floor. when 
they did their cover of lou reed's "satellite of love", they turned on 
big ol' lights and started rotating the trabant, turning it into a sort 
of vehicular disco-mirror-ball. i always thought it a great pun, to do 
that for "satellite of love" . . .
