This clip comes from a phone interview I did with Nancy Sinatra in 2004. I didn't use the exchange in the printed article and hadn't heard it again until this morning, June 16th 2021, when I was putting together a Nancy Sinatra podcast I posted earlier. But this is great fun, Nancy revealing herself to be a bona fide U2 fan, telling her Dublin driver in 1995, basically, "forget James Joyce, I want to see Bono's house!" The moment high culture in Ireland gave way to pop culture perhaps! I better be careful or what I say m ay end up in the U2 museum that is planned for Dublin. Maybe Mancy and I can go to the opening! Enjoy.
