At Restless and Reforming. I’m not sure about the forearm smashing, however! It’s not really that sort of book.

LOL!
Hey, faithful are the forearm smashes of a friend. At least that’s how Proverbs translates in the Glasgow bible!
And yes, the story about Bono was true. Glasgow crowds are legendary for giving big egos a hard time. A famous singer/group recently performed at a prestigious Glasgow venue. As the sound alternated badly during one song, someone shouted “Has the soundman gone for a pee?”
Anyhow, I’ve added a postscript to the review just clarifying my use of language!
That’s okay. In Glasgow I doubt anyone would be offended!
Is it true, as Robin Williams claimed on the BBC the other day, that Bono was clapping his hands during a concert and saying, “Every time I clap my hands a child in Africa dies,” and that, in response, a Scotsman was heard to shout, “Then stop clapping your hands!”?
Now that’s a smashing (verbal) forearm!

Apologies for the hyperbole!
