Brené et Bono ❤️
Welcome to Part 1 of my conversation with Bono, recorded live at the historic Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas. I have been a fan since the very beginning, and this event, presented by Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL)’s Bonus Tracks, was sheer magic.
Eighteen-year-old me—the girl with the asymmetric haircut, combat boots, and a Walkman that played U2’s “War” album from daylight to dusk every single day for a year—is wondering, How in the hell did I pull this off?
The answer is, I don’t know. What I do know is that we were mentally in sync, spiritually locked in, and we talked about everything from rock and roll and activism to faith and the power of paradox.
Bono’s new memoir, “Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story,” is the ultimate love story—to his wife, Ali; to his family and friends; to the band; and to all of us who’ve found both peace and provocation in the music.
