Few things mainly, but it's old stuff. The earnestness of some of their music, his poses some of the old activism stuff & his penchant for taking himself very seriously. Times have changed.

@@lahaza6515 I suspect it isn’t the earnestness-after all Metallica and Pearl Jam are both beloved earnest rock bands-but their referenced of christian theology that bothers people. I’m not religious myself but I never understood the phobia of religion of many secularists. As for the activism, are you sure we are speaking about the same planet Earth? WTH is wrong with activism, would people prefer Bono to be a selfish calloused debauched hedonist like Mick Jagger? I know would be fascists if not actual fascists on the far right in America today have a problem with activism, hence their fascism, but to be against activism is at best a misunderstanding of history. Unless you’re born into old money and royalty, life was very miserable, difficult, and oppressive for the vast majority of people. It has been activism that has given us most of the best things about society and government like freedom of the press, democracy, worker’s rights, civil rights, etc. to think society is perfect as it is is delusion and vanity.

In the mid 80s when Joshua Tree came out, 1987, I was 24 and had been a fan since hearing Boy on college radio. I was the only person in my group of friends that was a U2 fanatic, this is when they were on the cover of Time Magazine as “rocks hottest ticket”, and when Bono and Ali went to Africa. This seemed to be when some started disliking them because of their activism. I’m still a U2 fanatic at 59 years old, great interview. Also when they were on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine with the words “can Bono save the World”, led to backlash, I never understood it, but it happened!

Bono is one of the most poetic lyricists with extreme attention to tiny details that make it all worth. Up to the very best in contemporary music. The way he describes certain things in life in this interview only proves that further. It was a joy to listen to his mind talking. So evident in songs like Stay (Faraway so close), City of Blinding lights, Cedars of Lebanon, Until the end of the world, Book of your heart and hundreds of others.

I love this in depth interview and will subscribe as a result AND I am buying his book for me and my son-in-law for his b-day (I have been a fan since Joshua Tree) when I was made aware. I was fortunate enough to be invited to a concert here in Los Angeles for that tour. It was a religious experience. “With or Without You” hits my core from that time and forward like so many of their songs. Hearing the new arrangement on SC show made me cry. It’s beauty and grace was delivered in such a thought-filled way. Thank you also for bringing up “One” on Achtung Baby. Thank you Tom. I’m a new follower. 💜

From the moment I heard "I will Follow" on the radio coming home from school until now, Bono has been my favorite rock star, role model and all around good responsible human being actually doing productive things with his life of celebrity. This was a very well done interview with many insights into the thought processes and struggles behind the albums and lifestyle of musicians who don't get caught up in the fame machine with all nightlife excesses and dysfunctional shallow relationships that become destructive rather than constructive. Final note, I realized Bono and I had the same tremendously difficult childhood trauma from our mother's dying while we were teenagers, and I've always felt a kinship with him being another Orphan in the World that has done rather nice for himself compared to the rest of us. Thank you for the inspiration to do good and be kind to each other (with or without religion)... and making sure we know there are hard working people on the top who are not selfish sleazeballs.

Compliments to the interviewer. You managed to elicit Bono's religious restlessness. We sometimes mispercieve spirituality as manifesting in calmness or being passive. Bono seemed to be in persuit of surrender by his own words. The interview did a great job at illustrating that these persuits are quite restless. Bono seems to recall the famous quote ascribed to Saint Francis at his funeral( by a friend and priest). " Teach the Gospel, and use words if necessary." It describes a restless and active act of surrender indeed.

This is a great interview for longtime fans, because you push Bono to go a little bit further than he normally does in this kind of format. Just one thing: Can someone PLEASE tell Bono that Pop is an all-around excellent U2 album? I never thought it was meant to be a "dance" album, though it has some techno sounds on it. Discotheque, Mofo, Gone, Please, Playboy Mansion-all outstanding songs that touch on love, faith and doubt in the U2 tradition. Pop made perfect sense coming after Achtung Baby and Zooropa, and it most certainly does NOT sound like a series of "demos."

I know the band slams Pop, but that tour was amazing. I saw them in Tampa during the Zoo TV and POP tours, and I loved them both equally. I actually listen to more POP bootlegs than Zoo TV bootlegs. The Mexico City show from 1997 is one of my favorite live shows ever ... Bono tearing up while the crowd sings along to the ending of "Pride..." and his tribute to Michael Hutchence during the outro to " All I Want is You" give me chills every time.

I mean, it’s ok that he is asking himself if he has the right to be the activist he is, and that he is super awarded… but when the band U2 is on stage and moves all those feelings and consciences, then you know you are right to lead people to a good cause. And glad it is you and not other rocker. I am so in love with u2 music and of course the feeling of remembering my youth 😂 is priceless. I have seen them 3 times and were an incredible days! I love this interview, this is something else of what we have heard from Bono. ❤

‼️❤️ thank u - uplifting and sincere and authentic and new ideas and tidbits that are not in the book. Just having this audio play in the background while I’m doing things, is like playing a U2 album. Haaa. As Edge says, Bono is a great mimic. LOVE, The Sir Paul bit. ❤️❤️❤️
