12.5.22 Surrender An Evening with Bono in Conversation with Jon Meacham 

I am also in my 50s and I believe there is no comparison between U2 and the Beatles. Totally different

Amen

He needs to stick to music

A shame the Irishman did not stick to music. Instead, we got a crapload of self-righteous, liberal, leftist propaganda in a church. The egomania and narcissism flowing from that stage/alter, was mind boggling. The hatred, for conservatives, was vile and palpable. A waste of time for many.

Calm down Skippy. Aren't you late for your ballet class?

You should have went down to Blarney's Irish pub on 5th and main, met several Bonos up at the bar. Until close to last call, then they're 8 sheets to the wind, falling off barstools

You give new meaning to the word, "sycophant".

@@thomasluby1754 No, I do not.

You can see the authentic Christ speaking through all the humble & non-judgemental hearts He has inspired. The great King David a man after God's own heart for examle.

Yes, such are the travails of Bono, whose work I greatly admire, as he made appeal to Camus aesthetics of “Absurdity” while seeking refuge in his music. His appellation to AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell” as a theme song for this liturgical throng of fellow travelers and benefactors, including Mencham, Soros and Buffett, informs the listener that the liturgical Left still has unresolved feelings about our Nation's schizophrenic founding and its redemption laid in the aftermath of post-civil war; where ignoble and noble have become one like that found in the writings and paintings of William Blake.

It is "...conscience...", not "...conscious..." Bono hasn't a clue.

True but please stop using the word amazing. It’s been over killed

@@gmar7836 look away then

​@@gmar7836 Awesome

How awesome ! I was able to pur chase Bonos new book 🙏😇💜💙 have a wonderful new year ! 🎉🎆

Great Comment

Wow. Nice

Me too.

Sad

@@thisisthenewcovenant6058 You do seem sad. I agree.

How to be a liberal snob, and turn your back on ALL the fans who made 🤔 you rich??

Wow! What an amazing rendition! And in that space.

John 2:14 - In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!”

@@socalled33 That would fit, more, if it was a gathering place of true, scriptural Christian worship; but this is more like a pagan Pantheon; or a temple of Artemis, pagan goddess of war and other things, etc.

From another Irish man only getting into U2 after their later albums 🙏

Mark T, couldn't agree more!💚

Did you listen to what he said? Or just thinking how awesome U2's music is???? And it is awesome. He literally told you that his god is the devil. He literally spelled it out for you. He gave you the truth in plain sight. You are so dumbed down you can't see?????? I prey for you

@@teetsmagee5553 I have listened to his comments and his music, and your comments are inappropriate, although may your behavior and lack of responsibility improve. Cheers!

Markt 3685......What are you smoking to say something that dumb to me??? Because I have an opinion ??? Which obviously comes from way more years of knowing what's going on when it comes to U2. You don't want to go there trust me....

So I guess you watched the whole interview??? You probably didn't even watch the interview. One thing stands out, you are a very negative person and that makes you have very poor judgment, making impulsive and snap decisions which always have a negative or sarcastic bend and that is making you emotionally/spiritually sick. Beware of your negativity, it will lead you down a continuous, loveless, path of judgment about yourself and others throughout a lifetime, and that is no way to live. And if you haven't noticed, the world needs a lot of love, and you definitely are not helping. There are bullshit artists in this world, but Bono is not one of them. How about questioning your negativity occasionally, there are good people in the world. You do not believe in goodness, that is clear.

he is 2 faced and supports murdering babies in the womb disgusting man

If he cares so much, and does have great wealth, why doesn't he do as Christ preached? Give it all away and follow him . Build your treasure in heaven..

@@patricialavallee8286 Maybe he is giving a lot of his money away, that's not information that we would be privy to...Because you have a certain belief about being a Christian, is not going to be true of everyone else. Not all Christians believe identically, and that is a good thing. Also, he did head the biggest proactive awareness and action for AIDS, for a number of years and still going, when no one else would. Helping many people not just in the US, but other countries which are not financially well off. That means adults and kids dying of AIDS in places like Africa. You just don't like Bono, and no matter what he does, you are not going to get it, you're always going to be negative. He is the best of the best out there, who could just be a completely egocentric asshole, but he is not. He is doing a lot to help out, open your heart and mind.

@@patricialavallee8286 Amen

Lennon/McCartney?!

I did go to the show in Chicago, and yes, it was powerful in person, but the audible version of the book has practically the same content and songs, if that's any consolation!

@Margaret Sch. Thanks for sharing that. I saw a great interview w Jon Meacham and Bono at the National Cathedral. I believe on You Tube.

I agree this interview is very special!!

Margaret, glad you liked it.

@@jessicasyd1 I also came across a great filmed conversation between him and Eugene Peterson from a few years ago. Look up their two names together on RU-vid and you may find it. The photography and personal commentary are excellent. It's just 20 minutes long.

I’ve been a big fan of Bono since I was 12 years old, but he veered off into some top line BS at times. He often says things that sound really good, but when you really think about it, it’s mostly fluff

He is full of it. Always has been. Now he can’t even hide it behind a decent U2 album as they haven’t had one for years

The Clannad song, “Harry’s Game” is one of idolatry - of “following” a young man (not God), That’s why it was chosen, for these speeches of blasphemy, idolatry, etc. It was idolatrous in the Red Rocks video; and it’s even more idolatrous with this. There is NO holy spirit from God associated with this evil event of outrageous blasphemy, idolatry, and spiritual lies!!

You seem nice

If he were not deeply touching many others, he would not continue to receive invitations, honors and so on. The strength of personality that it takes to project as he does is both necessary for the work he does and hard for others to fathom.

@@margaretsch.3609 he's a globalist. With the gift of Irish blarney

“They say they want the Kingdom, BUT THEY DON’T WANT GOD IN IT.” Jehovah the Creator and Universal Sovereign God has His own globally-given scriptural terms, requirements, and standards for human beings, for pure worship of Himself - that is the worlds one true global religion. And that’s exactly what the Satanic godless are warring against, just as prophesied in type - and that is why this this whole world is now once again nearly completely ruined.

Why was this talk held in a church?

There is no Jesus in ACDC Nor in the entertainment, media field The God they worship is far FAR from Christ

I can’t believe he has only just discovered our Aussie “Acca-Dacca” after all these years! 😂

​​@@BirdNatalie That's nothing, I found God in a horror core song called "Return Of Da Baby Killa", which is way darker, so I win

Just wait til you hear him remove your rights and freedoms at DAVOS!

“Different” from globally-given, scriptural truth, warnings, laws, standards and requirements - from the Creator and Universal Sovereign God Jehovah - makes most of the worlds religions more appealing, to most people. People “looking for” anything but whole-scriptural truth from God - to “custom fit” whatever it is they desire, no matter how unconscionable or scripturally God-condemned - can either look for an anti-whole-scriptural false-to-God religion or ideology that suits whatever it is that they want to have “spiritually supported”, or else make up their own religion and be their own god. But, that’s all basically Satanism in a nutshell - “do what thou whilst” - the oldest, deadliest, most evil scam there is. There is one Way to having a viable relationship, with the One True God and Heavenly Father, and that is to learn about Him, His Son, and God’s own scriptural truth and heed it, put faith in it, exercise faith in it, take a stand for it - that forms this worlds one true global religion, under the One True God. There is no other. (John 17: 3; 3: 36; 4: 24; 8: 32, John chapter 17; Ephesians 4: 2-6; Psalm 83: 18) Tragically though, most people don’t want spiritual truth, and don’t actually even care about having a good, viable relationship with their Maker. They do not care. Why should anyone wonder too much why this world is now a life-hostile, evil-filled mess? It’s really a duh thing. And the right answers are also duh things, because God already has had the whole world scripturally Informed. Hello, hello….

@UC06Ont9pKrkyxfWaqemCnQQ Wow. I guess I'm flattered you took the not so small effort to correct me. Unfortunately this kind of "certainty" is what I find objectionable and that gives aid and comfort to those who would hate and ostracize those who are different instead of embracing all.

Deep faith? Since he has great wealth and seems to care about the greater good of humanity, why doesn't he do as Christ preached. Give it all away and follow him.

@@patricialavallee8286 I never said Christian, I said faith. The two are not the same. You can have faith or be of a faith without being Christian.

Why? Within the whole, actual Psalm 40, there’s God-inspired speech of examples of true, truly faithful servants of God “[using] religion as a crutch” (like B here just publicly voiced disdain for) - rightly expressing their dependence on God; asking Him for help; and gratefully thanking Him and praising Him for His help and blessings. To such truly faithful humans, the Person of God and His Son are REAL, as they actually, in reality, ARE.

Watching just now with tears. How nerve wracking to sing that with Bono so close.

@@maryokeefe2405 Right??!!

Me too....but? I explain elsewhere on this thread why i am disturbed by him now

@@saucyjk6453 Why?

Achtung Baby was the last great album.

You did what now?

You've been reading too many kids books lately. That quote sounds nice but it bares no resemblance to reality.

He is the later.

The latter

If you think the latter, then my question would be... What harm is done by this? However, I think Bono is very introspective. He walks the walk. He has been married to the same woman. His is very tight with his bandmates since their band's inception, as teenagers. He has done great humanitarian work. These are the acts of someone who is decent..... There are and have been plenty of people with his fame and fortune and none of these things ever cross their minds. What more do you require?

@@frankz479 he doesn’t pay his taxes. This conversation didn’t need to be in a church. That alone is sanctimonious itself. He’s a blowhard. It’s easy to be a humanitarian when you make as much money as he does. I can go to a war torn impoverished country for a day a week a month whatever and go back to my mansion too. It’s not that hard and I shouldn’t get some bizarre credit for it.

I used to be the world's BIGGEST U2 Fan!!! It's easy for me to say, I'm NOT anymore, BECAUSE of their POLITICAL views!! I NEVER paid to HEAR it during a CONCERT!!! 😡

Your two sentences are actually just one.

@@thomasluby1754 yep just needs a comma

Totally pagan, blasphemous, and in opposition to the One who created - but exactly prophesied in type to be popular with the bulk mass majority; with those who would so unrighteously choose to “render sacred service to the creation rather than the One who created.” The outcome of that is known, and will be tragic, for many, soon. (Romans 1: 25,32; Psalm 37: 10)

ONE. One world, one world religion

My response has been shadow banned, again.

Wouldn't call it diplomacy exactly, more like , "if ya can't baffle them with your brilliance, dazzle em with your BS" ☘️🍺🍸🍷 slainte☘️

It's ok.He'll have his songs when he goes
