"How to Deconstruct an Atomic Bomb" (2004)
Demo Song
Background Information
In July 2004, U2Log.Com reported that their reader Paul, in Dublin, had been in contact with someone who had met with British conceptual artist Damian Hirst while Hirst was in Dublin. Hirst claimed to have visited the studios to listen to some of the latest tracks with Bono. Bono asked for advice on titles from Hirst, and Hirst gave him two suggestions, one was “Vertigo” and the second was “How to Deconstruct an Atomic Bomb”. These were specified as song titles, and not title suggestions for the album.
