Neil Young took part in a Twitter Q&A session…in which he asked his fans “who is Bono?”.
The legendary rocker made the dismissive comment about the U2 frontman after he was asked what his opinion was of the band Foster The People.. Young was asked about foster the people? #askneil said bono said he likes them… it is surprising two super stars like them..”. Young replied: “who is Bono?”.
Young was also asked if he’d be making any more ‘rock operas’ similar to his Greendale project, to which he responded: “anything can happen”.
He also took the time to reply, but said, “what would happen if you were locked alone in a room with only a jar of nutella?” with the answer “creative things”.
