| "ROCK N'ROLL
IS RIDICULOUS. IN THE PAST, U2 WAS TRYING
TO DUCK THAT. BUT NOW WE'RE WRAPPING OUR
ARMS AROUND IT AND GIVING IT A GREAT BIG
HUG. IT'S A REAL TRIP." BONO |

WELCOME
TO THE MEMORABILLION U2 PHOTODYSSEY!
LET'S TAKE A TRIP WITH THE BAND AND LEARN
THE WISDOM OF LIFE FROM THESE FAB FOUR
IRISH URBAN SAVIOURS THAT COME TO TOWN.
BRING ALL THE THINGS THAT HAVE A RIGHT
PLACE IN YOUR HEART, SOUL AND MIND. BUT
DON'T FORGET THAT ALL THE FANTASY, DREAM
AND HOPE WILL MEAN NOTHING BUT ILLUSION,
IF WE CAN'T MAKE THEM DOWN TO EARTH. SO
NOW ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS JUST SIT BACK,
RELAX AND ENJOY BEING THE WANDERER OF
THEIR JOURNEY. HOPE YOU FIND WHAT YOU'RE
LOOKING FOR AND HAVE A NICE TRIP. -Tri Rahayu
Kusumawati

THE MOMENT. |

ELEVATION High,
higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here
At the corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse, you elevate my soul
I've lost all self-control
Been living like a mole
Now going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation
A star lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you could educate my mind
Explain all these controls
I can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation
A mole, living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation
Love, lift me out of these
blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you
-All That You Can't Leave
Behind. 2000.

| Wins and
performances at last week's Grammy Awards
helped propel sales for U2, Eminem,
Steely Dan, Moby, Destiny's Child and
Shelby Lynne, with U2's All That You
Can't Leave Behind and Steely Dan's
Two Against Nature getting the biggest
sales boosts. All That You Can't
Leave Behind jumped from #35 to #11
on the chart, selling about 85,000 copies
last week. Even though the album wasn't
released in time to be considered for
this year's Grammys, U2 benefited from
the three awards they took home for
"Beautiful Day", which won two
of the biggest honors, Record of the Year
and Song of the Year. And
as for the upcoming U2 Elevation Tour
2001 this month,"I can say that,
having been through what we've been
through, over the last years, that there
is a kind of bond between us now. When we
play, molecules in the room start
vibrating at different speeds. The
chemistry that we caught on the album is
still with us, and you don't know how
long it's going to last. But I think it's
going to be a really special thing for
the four of us to be on stage at this
time. I don't know quite how to explain
that to you, but just having been in the
band for a while, I've never felt this
kind of force, and I hope we can keep it
like that until the summer, until we get
to see everyone in March, April, May, if
we're still playing like we are
now," Bono said.
