rock and roll fantasy single

Rich,
I think you'll find the U2 songs are mostly all "co-written" but if I remember correctly the song was mostly visualised and constructed by The Edge based on his break up from his wife-Bono took this central theme and give it a slightly more universal feel.

Sorry to be so pedantic.

Rich,
It could be I got my facts wrong-it's happened before!
I was working from memory and I thought that was the origon of the song-I might do a little research of my own on it.

I do know here in the UK Q magazine had a list of the greatest songs of all time and this was no.1.

I'll be back!

Maybe..............

Rich,
The Supergroup thing is a fun idea but I can't really get my brain to work that way.
The synergy between individuals doesn't work to a formula and one only has to look at the history of modern music to see the low achievements that happened when a lot of exceptionally talented musicians got together with what seemed like a good idea for a band or album.

I don't want to add to that!

:-)
