We were uncool because we were hot, we just erupted as a live band.   --- These are the words said by The Edge from U2. I'll try to paraphrase them because I'm not sure I understand them (especially the first sentence).   "We were stubborn and proud at the same time because we didn't want to play/behave like every other group and be fashionable. They thought we were uncool but in fact we were hot (exciting) and we became successful as a live band."   Am I pretty much correct? Newguest Joined on Sun, Feb 25 2007 Senior Member 2,098 Sentences

Maybe. The meaning of the original statement is unclear to me.   Best wishes, Clive Clive Joined on Thu, Oct 28 2004 Canada Veteran Member 29,630 El tango argentino es un pensamiento triste que se puede bailar (The tango argentino is a sad thought which can be danced) Enrique Santos Discépolo Sentences
