ANNOUNCER
It's Ben Stiller's Rocumentary: U2--The Early Years!
BONO
It was very difficult for us when we were starting out.
We had this horrible old manager who didn't understand us.
MR. KINKAID
I loved those boys like they were my own sons. He came to me,
you know. Oh yeah.
BONO
Mr. Kinkaid used to drive us about in this ramshackle, old
multi-colored school bus, taking us from gig to gig. He was
talking about how we were gonna make it in the show business.
MR. KINKAID
Oh, I was full of ideas back then.
BONO
He wanted to get a little girl to play tambourine with us
but we nixed that one.
MR. KINKAID
With Bono, it was always about ... the message. So, I gave
him a message: If Joel Wasserstein doesn't have fun at his
bar mitzvah, you're not getting paid. Comprende?
Joel Wasserstein's Bar Mitzvah, Long Island, NY, 1980
BONO
Thank you! Well, I hope you're having a good time here at the
Joel's bar mitzvah. We're all real proud of him. Look at
him, the very vision of manhood. And how about Leo Krupnick,
who made that great gafilte fish sculpture, huh? Everyone
taste the fish sculpture -- it's great!
Alright Joel, get up here, come on up here.
Joel reluctantly gets up from his seat.
And I hope everyone's ready to dance the Hora and the Hokey
Pokey soon, I don't want to see anybody sitting. Alright, Joel.
Today Joel is a man!
Alright Edge, play the blues!
The Edge plays "Hava Negeliah" on his guitar while Bono grabs a handheld
spotlight and shines it all over Joel, a la the "blue sky" segment in
"Rattle & Hum."
BONO
Thank you, Joel!
I'll tell you something else. I'm sick and tired of what's
going on in Northern Ireland.
MR. KINKAID
Okay, so it wasn't Carnegie Hall. But you gotta start somewhere.
