Apparently Bono Is Super "Embarrassed" By The Name U2

You know Bono — musician, philanthropist, and longtime singer of the rock 'n' roll titans U2.

Let it be known, though: Winning 22 Grammy Awards doesn't prevent you from eventually hating your own band name.

Appearing on the Awards Chatter podcast, Bono opened up about how hearing his own voice makes him "cringe" and the name U2 makes him feel "embarrassed."

"In our head it was like the spy plane, U-boat, it was futuristic," Bono said. "As it turned out to imply this kind of acquiescence — no I don’t like that name. I still don’t really like the name."

He also said hearing his own voice makes him "cringe a little," adding, “I’ve been in the car when one of our songs has come on the radio, and I’ve been the color of, as we say in Dublin, scarlet... I'm just so embarrassed.”

He continued, "I do think U2 pushes out the boat on embarrassment quite a lot, and maybe that’s the place to be as an artist — you know, right at the edge of your level of embarrassment."

Talk about being [sings] "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of," amirite?
