Season 5 Episode 29 - Bono’s Surrender: 500 Pages of Topline Melody
Book Talk #5
FEATURED SONGS:
REC – “Mine Alone” (from Parts and Labour) OR STREAM IT ANYWHERE
Nick Live - “Song for Someone” (featuring Cathryn Lynne)
In the all-powerful Book Talk #5, I talk about highlights and insights from Bono’s Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story, a memoir/autobiography featuring mostly chronological anecdotes structured around 40 U2 songs.
I sort out Bono’s & U2’s approach to music as he sees it, discuss relevant facets of his life, and shine a light on various aspects of his politics & spirituality. I also talk about U2’s 40-track companion album, Songs of Surrender.
Are you a Bono/U2 fan? Have you read this book? If yes, what are your takeaways? If no, why not? And either way, what’s your overall impression of Bono as both an artist and a person? Discuss dammit!
