You guys remember how the lyrics to U2’s ‘October’ album were supposedly* stolen and the songs had to be rewritten, etc? Yahoo has a story how Bono has just had long lost lyrics returned

* well, I guess this takes the ‘supposedly’ out of the equation
I wonder how close they are to the actual lyrics. It would be cool if they decided to re-record it with the new lyrics or something, just for kicks. That album is awesome. I’ve actually been listening to it a lot lately. It may not have received the acclaim it deserved at the time (the article mentions Boy and War did) but it might have just been too ahead of its time. Boy and War had more political accessible songs that lent themselves to singles. My old guitar teacher, who was more of a heavy metal/Stones guy than anything, always said he thought October was one of the best and most ahead of its time albums ever released.
