Trivia/fun facts:
"Mofo" is also the title of a song from the album "Pop", released by the band U2 in 1997. The song refers to Bono's mother, who died of cancer when Bono (Paul Hewson) was a teenager (Paul McCartney grew up with losing his mom in the same way). In the song Bono asks his dead mom "Mother, am I still your son?", and he asks her if she sees him on stage tonight and if she is proud of him. He does not sing the words "mofo", "motherfucker" or any related word in the lyrics.
