    The first time I listened to, “The Joshua Tree”, I was on a bus to school in Frankfurt, Germany. It opened my eyes and my heart to bigger things, different lives in different countries. I felt a sense of fearlessness and freedom, even as a 15 year old girl, that I’ve never lost. I’ve loved U2 ever since. ❤️

      Growing up listening to U2 when I was a kid was like it was just music . I didn’t appreciate the messages of faith, love, to right the wrongs of humanity, or how God used Bono to be the instrument of his will. Only now as I’m in my late 40’s do I really understand the meanings behind a simple Irish rock-n-roll band. I truly hope Bono continues to be an inspiration for others to find faith, and love not just in a marriage between two people, but for the entire human race.

    I just turned 60. I first heard a brand new single "I will Follow", in 1979/80 - an after hours club in New York City called "The Nursery". I needed to know that moment who made this song. I begged the dj for some info, even tho his hands were full. I fell in love with U2 right then. I was happy our beloved WLIR put them in heavy rotation from the beginning. Program director Dennis McNamara helped break U2 in the U.S. It's been 42 years for me. I still go to the shows, and get excited for new music. God bless them.

    When I bought my first U-2 album, "October," Bono's name was "Bono Vox." - It was "MTV-Music Video's" in America that turned me on to U-2 when I first heard "Gloria." I still don't understand why that song isn't a regular playing hit here in the USA. It is a Rocking Lovely jamming song. I think I even sang it in the shower when I was 21 years old in the 1980's. I'm going to 65 next year [2023].

    This was a brilliant, insightful tour of Bono's past, and present--the perfect prologue to receiving his memoir in the post (eagerly anticipated!)!
    22:03 That puzzling placement! Mr. Hewson having to create his own image, alongside Irish Writers Long Past. Not only is the man a living legend--his creative roots took place on that very site! His incredible literary artistry, going unrecognized in his own school! ('Comprehensive', it is not!)
    This particular 'Temple' needs to place Bono's photo at the apex of that grouping: Top. Centre. And in this case, and always: Never Give Up, Never Surrender--you are, and will always be, the Toppermost of the Poppermost! 🥳🍻

    Bono's peak was 83' to 93. And it's not really up for debate. From War to Zooropa. So I don't think he's a better singer now than then, at all. Sorry. But this version of Bono couldn't sing Lemon or Sunday Blood Sunday like it was on war, or Bad like it is on Unforgettable fire, or with or without you like it was on Joshua Tree. They still play these amazing songs, but Bono sounds very, very tired and far less impactful than even in the late 90s early 2000s.
    Bono's voice now actually works far better in their newer songs than any of the old ones.

    Bono, coloring his hair? At least he's aging naturally without all that facial surgery..

    I’m sorry that first sip of Bono’s Guinness was atrocious.And he’s Irish.
