A Reflection on Chapter 3 of Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story
Even if you’re not a U2 fan, I really recommend Bono’s autobiography in audio. He narrates the audiobook and it’s heartbreakingly beautiful and entertaining. If nothing else, listen / read chapter 3.
U2 Inspired Evangelical Church Worship Music
Thank God U2 aren't litigious, because everybody ripped them off.
Foo Fighters and HIV AIDS Denialism
It's weird that it's not mentioned in the band's archives or biographies. The impact of telling a bunch of people that they don't need to worry about medication or treatment for a very treatable disease feels worth at least a paragraph or two in their history.
Lucy Rose Cover of U2's With or Without You
Lucy Rose nailed this cover of With or Without You.

Chinese Satellite Love
I love this verse in Phoebe Bridgers' song, Chinese Satellite, from her 2020 album Punisher

Reflecting on U2's Kite
Kite is one of my favourite U2 songs that you might not have ever heard before.

Not only is it a great performance by the band, but she's literally never heard of them. Never heard of Bono.
