'The Enemy of Great..'

'Very good is the enemy of great, you can mistake it for great'. Bono on Letterman.

What Bono told Letterman last night about ONE, RED... oh, yeah, and that next U2 record.

'People don't get excited about us being very good, who needs a new U2 album, there's loads of them out there.. we have to make a great U2 album.'
