U2's Bono says he's not sure he'll ever play guitar again and he has no one to blame but himself for the cycling accident in Central Park that left him hospitalized for months.
On Jan. 1, the singer posted a detailed, A-to-Z-styled intimation of everything that's been going on since the accident.
"I promised myself I would be more mindful of my limits," he writes in the 6,211-word post that Bono says is "all the communication" he can manage for the first half of 2015.
The post is a sort of a recap of the year, but it reads more like Bono's current mind-map. He touches on a myriad of subjects, including anonymity within the blogosphere -- "if they are hiding, I'm not interested" -- the band's fans -- "we've always understood who was paying our wages" -- and iTunes -- "our album was to be like a bottle of milk dropped at the door of anyone interested in music and iTunes."
He also shares a lot of info about several medical conditions that have been plaguing him. One is glaucoma, which is the reason why he wears tinted glasses, and which he might have had for as long as 23 years.
The other is his horrific cycling accident in November. "I blanked out on impact and have no memory of how I ended up in New York Presbyterian with my humerus bone sticking through my leather jacket. Very punk rock as injuries go," he writes.
He also shared an image of his titanium elbow, one of the results of the accident. And in a particularly worrying passage, he admits he might never play the guitar again -- though he immediately goes on to say that this will not hamper the band much.
"As I write this, it is not clear that I will ever play guitar again," he writes. "The band have reminded me that neither they nor Western civilization are depending on this."
