Uno, dos, tres…catorce ?

關於 U2 在 Vertigo 一曲前為何要唱出 Uno, dos, tres…catorce 這幾個字一直是個迷(這些字是西班牙文，翻成英文是 one, two, three and fourteen)，幾年來大家猜測不斷，以下是幾種說法：

-It’s Spanish, and it refers to Steve Lillywhite producing their 1st, 2nd, 3rd and fourteenth albums.

這個說法很快就被踢爆，因為怎麼算到當時只有 11 張(一般只認定 studio 作品算正式專輯，其它 singles, bootleg 就族繁不及備載了)

-that a Mexican fortune teller told him he would die on the fourth month of the fourth year after his fourth child was born. She said the number four (”cuatro,” since the fortune teller was in Mexico) was cursed for him, and he must avoid it at all costs link

這個很明顯是來 kuso 的，作者自已後來也承認是捏造的。

-It has been brought up in other forums, that it is referencing the 1st testament, 2nd book, 3rd chapter, 14th verse - which is exodus 3:14 - the verse with Moses talking with the burning bush (God) and God calling himself “I AM”. This is re-inforced by the inclusion of the handwritten notes of this verse in the Box release book on the page for “All Because of You” - just a theory that I think makes sense in a U2 / Bono kind of way

最後這個目前看來最可信，它是指 聖經出埃及記裏第 3:14 節內容，因為 Bono 的歌曲中確實常有宗教意函。

所以，在沒有更好的解釋出現前，就先接受這個吧…

呃，所以這跟 RIA 有何關係呢？有有有，最近發現寫程式時聽 U2 是個不錯的選擇，當精神很好時，普通的爵士鋼琴就可以打發，但當下午精神開始潰散時，就是 U2 上場的時後，其中尤其以 Achtung Baby 效果最好，至於這篇提到的 Vertigo 效果也不錯，可以丟進 vlc 裏不斷重放，生產力馬上出現效果比 red bull 還好…

當然，如果狀況真的很壞時，就要拿出最後手段，此時 Dream Theather, Ozzy Osbourne, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani 就要出現，偶爾 Gun’s and Rose’s, Lynard Skynard, All brother’s band 也會上場，所以這裏可以很到一個結論：一個人的音樂收藏數量與 diversity 直接反應了編程功力的好壞( 逃 XD )~~~
