Well said. I was so enthralled that I forgot this was a talk show with commercials. A brilliant conversation more than an interview (kudos to Colbert). If I could choose a person to sit next to on a long flight it would be Bono. He’s been my hero since I was 13 years old and my admiration has only grown with time. To be a fly on the wall…
Was working as a park ranger in Central Park in NYC, leading a tour, saw him and a friend walking on the path towards us, but it took me 3 seconds to realize who he was--their presence first caught my attention, made eye contact, but didn't stop the tour or say anything to him, as he passed by us, he reached out smiling and tapped the top of my arm, which was a silent acknowledgment that he didn't have to offer. He is a classy man, who is as he says "in it". Loves people.
Riveting story! Wow.
He’s a multi millionaire Facebook shareholder who sold out like Howard Stern
@@Paulco67 What's wrong with investing in a company?
@@amolbhatia1449 nothing except Bono is a tight wad with his money and expects us to bail out and forgive poor countries of their debt. Typical champagne socialist
Hello anne,
how are you doing?
Thanks for your love and support, I really appreciate you as my super fan! ❤️
@@bono9235 and how’s your old friend, Derek, formally of Carrickfoyle Terrace in Kilmainham, doing? Still riding his motorcycle?? How are his 4 kids?
An Irish man teaching me an American about my countries past present and future and soul is an inspiration to me in these dark times- a brilliant interview!
It is not so much that he's Irish but educated with integrity (well, if we forget stealing The Ramones song).
It’s endemic in the soul of Irish education. Draw from the past, know where you’re coming from…but always be open to a different future.
The essence of Irish people everywhere. Our hope is always inextinguishable 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
And the USA will come back in even greater form. Have faith. America is honest and raw, that’s why it survives and overcomes. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
💪🇺🇸🇨🇦🇮🇳🇧🇷🇯🇵💪
Being Irish is like a 'vessel' for Paul Hewson (Bono) - his easy going and humorous manner allows a subtle approach to big 'stuff'. And of course he's mellowed with age:)
@@user-hm8wf2jf1h And of course or innate desire to be the funniest/most entertaining person in the room....
Bono really emulates everything I want to be as a man. Depth, Love, Passion, Integrity. He is literally my hero.
Well Dean I hope you become a better man thank you for wanting to do better we really need that and I hope every man in this country will learn from what you wrote and one Bono said!!
Get in the line Friend! Not only to US like men, learn with Bono, but every human should learn with him!
You left out tax dodger.

I’m 25 and got the opportunity to see U2 front row 6 years ago. I knew most of the Joshua Tree album but wouldn’t consider myself a stan, but it turned out to be beyond a life changing performance and experience. I’ll always be a fan. Bono and the entire band are the true definition of rockstars.
Bono demonstrates such deep self understanding, that he needs his audience, that his desire is to have the loss of his mother healed through performing and feeling the appreciation of the audience. It's so wonderful to have such maturity and depth of thought modeled by such a prominent person.
Music is our greatest healer as is love.
@@elizabethmcleod246 Which?
Hes a Klaus Scwab rent boy...
U2 was the soundtrack of my teens and young adulthood in the 80’s…my favorite albums, favorite concerts, favorite performer and favorite activist. Hearing Bono talk about America made me feel both ashamed and hopeful at the same time. Ashamed because we should be better than what we have become as a country and hopeful because of Bono’s words…we aren’t finished yet. For decades I’ve admired how he will talk to whomever he needs to, conservative/liberal, when working on a social cause. We need more people in this world who lead with love and put people’s needs above politics. Wonderful interview, Stephen!
You’re easily fooled
@@andred3299 Bono is a gobshite spoofer who wrote a few really good songs. Not a serious person, at the end of the day.
puking barfing chunks.................glad to know there's a know it all out there - you and bono - what am i saying - the creatures of america most think they're 'know it alls' for decades, their going to answer each and every one to the true One who DOES KNOW IT ALL, JESUS
I needed to be reminded that America is not done, we ARE just starting out. We WILL survive if we want to, end of. What a great interview, so glad it was posted 💜
We're a lot more further along than many
Bono is such a gentle soul. I was really drawn in by him. He speaks slowly and thoughtfully, which is a rare thing these days. What a gift he is.
He tricked you! He’s a multi millionaire Facebook share holder who sold his soul 30 years ago.
Great that there is an extended interview with Bono up here. I was initially a bit disappointed. All the buzz about Bono coming just for the interview to last only 13 minutes. I love that there is a 36 minute version of it. And that this 36 minute version got uploaded for all of us.
Who wouldn't love Bono? This was really top drawer.
I was also dissapointed with the "bits" we were given and the full interview is so much better in content and context! Both Stephen and Bono are so good at story telling, I knew it would be an interesting discussion :)

Great interview, I really appreciate that he talked about America and how great we will become. Listen to the last 10 minutes..in my opinion every American should.
Agreed! Glad they uploaded the whole thing.
Not just a Rock legend, a great human being who has done many charity work to improve the lives of others.
👍
😂 you believe it yourself?😂
I love how you can always tell when Stephen is a genuine fan of his guest. There's a certain shy giddiness that creeps in and it's ADORABLE to see. I swear I can hear Stephen's little heart absolutely EXPLODING knowing that he got to sing with Bono. 🥰
Bono is such a humble bard with rips that echo thru his Irish blood. His focus seems easy but laser focused.
Stephen is such a great fan, but also knows how to let others feel free to be their authentic selves.
Bono has faith that he is open about sharing. ⚘♥️🕊
I got emotional listening to this interview. U2 has been my favorite band for a little over three decades now (I'm about to be 49), and I've seen their ( and his) cachet rise and fall many times in those years, but this clip just shows what a true, authentic, humble soul Bono is beyond all the bombast. Thank you, Stephen.
Me too! Though from the start. I'm 64
I wept. Wish everyone would watch this
Hello Johnny D,greetings from Dublin .l was 49 this year myself . Bono does get a bit of a hard time over here ,mainly for tax reasons ,but without a doubt there is more people that like him than dislike him,U2 have made an important influence to this country as well as other artists ,l think for a small country,we punch well above our weight on that score. Also, a few pints help.☘️👍😁
@@markroberts2943 You are definitely right about Ireland! It has an outsized influence on the world and I would have to say that U2 is part of that. I'm from the Philippines, I'm 46 and they are also my favorite rock band of all time! Sadly, I don't think they've ever come to the Philippines to perform but I finally did get to watch them in Baltimore in 2008/09 for their 360 Tour which was amazing and the experience of a lifetime! They are definitely rock icons for us GenXers worldwide.
Been a fan since I was 17 (I will Follow), I'm 59 now.
Been to a lot of concerts over the years, U2 gave the best live performance I ever saw.
It was clear he cared about his audience, so much effort went into making it sound perfect and boy did it just!
Great guy... on so many levels!
America - the greatest song the world hasn’t heard yet! (Insert tear drop)
I Love You Bono. 🇺🇸
Leonard Cohen also had this view. “Democracy is Coming to the U.S.A.”
I treasure the magazine interview he gave in the 90s where he said it so clearly!
I agree, I had the goose bumps! He is one of a kind, a breath of fresh air… Loved the story and the With or Without You performance.
This was fantastic. Being a U2 fan since 1979, this was pure bliss for me. Thank you, Stephen!
The look and smile on Stephens face when got to sing an Elvis line with Bono was so genuine. He is so earnest with his fandom. Soak up the moment for all of us!
Fake ass rich people doing fake laughs
I was lucky enough to meet Bono and he has stayed true to his punk rock roots that he talks about here. He was super down to earth and welcoming as well as a great conversationalist as seen here also. I was gobsmacked because he is Bono but his warmth and charm broke down that barrier. 💚
U2 provided the soundtrack for my life since high school in the early 80s. Their music was my go-to when I was alone and wanted to hear consolation or encouragement. Thank you for this, Stephen, Bono, Edge, Adam, Larry, Paul, Crew, Fans...
I love it when they put on the full interviews. More of these please.
My first U2 concert June 25th, 1983 in the Atlanta Civic Center. Bono and the boys were transcendent and electric.
I saw them on their first American tour in Boston.
Almost 37 minutes of such a compelling interview and every minute was well worth the watch
I didn't want it to stop. Those 36 minutes flew by
Always have admired this man. He seems so humble and sincere. Great interview.
My connection to this man and this band is beyond my understanding. I am a 25 year old and thanks to my mother, grew up listening to U2 in Brazil. Original of the species is my musical bible. I will make sure to bring this love on to my children, U2 is a life philosophy.
Bono is one righteous gentleman. Genuine, introspective, a man with depth. How fortunate are we, as American’s, to have such an ally?
I was so glad to see the extended version of this interview. I was so moved by the snippet earlier when he spoke of the US. I cried. I have been so sad at how our country has embraced so much hate. His words moved me, gave me hope that maybe this present state is just growing pains and not our demise. This interview was great. And Bono is just … well, Bono. Amazing.
Hello Reginacycs,
How're you doing
Thanks for your love and support, you're an amazing fan! it's nice meeting you…
Oh my God the spirit of this interview and interaction with the audience and me here on my phone is beautiful. What a reminder of the goodness of life. Great interview. So many people remembering the same things I am. Whew
It’s endearing that the first couple minutes of the interview showed Bono’s nervousness. We’re all a bit nervous immersed in new situations-that is what makes us human. As the full interview progressed it only got better. When you can speak from the heart without condemnation of anyone or anything, that’s when you know you have the audience’s full attention. Those are the moments of the interview that really stood out and that I will remember. Thanks for sharing the unedited version-that’s where the “music” is most pure.
Just the depth of his answers show how authentic his lyrics are. The lead on that interview was so good.
Last time I saw him in Toronto, Ontario was back in 2009. This dude never ages
Thank you U2, each and all. Your music helped through so many changes to sustainability. "Dont mean to bug you." A fan.
So grateful you posted this extended and excellent interview. Tried so hard to get tickets to see him at the Beacon Theater and it's been a disappointment every day as ticket prices never came down. Got a glimpse now, thank you Stephen! How cool the two of you singing together!! Major moment I'm sure
barf
I graduated high school in 1987. There is very few songs or bands or artists from that era that have aged well, Punk excluded. But I found a copy of my Joshua Tree CD 3 years ago, that I had forgotten about. I listened with fresh ears and that album is historically significant. You can feel the desert in it. Red Hill Town gets me every time. The idea that the blood runs cold between father and son, describes my family to a T. It gives me the chills and my eyes tear up. Every time. I have always loved Bullet the Blue Sky. I was sick of Streets Have No Name, during that time, but it's redeemed itself, years later, though the lesser known tracks are the ones I love the most. I know I have Celtic genes, because the natural world speaks to me too, and their descriptions of sunsets, red hills, the blue sky, and so on, feel like home to me. And New Years Day and Sunday, Bloody Sunday were anthems of my youth. Bravo, Bono, and thank you Colbert.
Gobshite
I’ve never been a U2 fan but I’m a huge Bono fans as of right now. BRAVO!
blasphemy !!! LOL
go and listen to their music from the 80"s - really listen
Here's my suggestions to start, the videos should be on YT that were on MTV in the early 1980's. Sunday Bloody Sunday, and New Years Day. Then, listen to Joshua Tree--the entire album, though fast forward through most of the first track---it's a long, long intro that's very quiet and hard to hear. I can guarantee there will be at least one track on Joshua Tree that speaks to you. There is great variety.
How can you be a “huge” Bono fan without being a fan of U2? 🤦♂️
Terrific long-format interview. More of this, please. Bono is a fascinating storyteller. His layers of self-reflection and his words about America right now were so eloquent. The Last of the Rockstars. Thank you, Stephen.
Stephen and Conan have consistently been the best interviewers in late night. No interrupting, no changing topics, no stupid games - just genuinely fascinating conversation while still being funny and entertaining.
I think Stephen does a very good job if he has some sort of personal connection with the person
100% agree Mr. Ezzell 👍👊
The Irish-ness...
Oh i miss Conan 😔
I miss Craig and Geoff, different mood I know.
What a thoughtful, sweet, kind, spiritual human. Love.
"He's one of the great front men of the past twenty years. He is also one of the only musicians to devote his personal faith and the ideals of his band into the real world in a way that remains true to rock's earliest implications of freedom and connection and the possibility of something better."
A quote from a speech, at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, by the equaly great Bruce Springsteen, about Bono. Like Springsteen, Bono and U2 are the soundtrack of my childhood right up to adulthood. Bono was the voice of pain, love, loneliness, joy, etc.
I could feel Colbert's nervousness, and utter revernce for this man. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview.
At first, I thought it was just going to be politeness and rememberence... How delightful to see a real interview! The exchanges between these two made it exciting, sparring, deepening minds, talking about politics both in the USA and abroad. Small towns, big cities, diverse artist influences... The jabs they took on each other, it was fun! Thank you guys for putting the whole interview online! ❤️✅👍🏼 It really is appreciated.
That was one of the most fascinating & interesting interviews I have heard ever! Colbert thanks! Bono, to be able to communicate as he does is truly amazing! I will dwell on this conversation as "Food For Thought" for a long time much as one thinks of the written words of a great novel! Well done! VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!
😮ii😮side s😮 wt😮.
My exact thoughts! Bono is so genuine! Greatest interview ever👏
WEF shills.
@@buanobas9122 not exactly, no…
@@SchnellTim Go get your booster Tim🙂
This might be one of the best interviews I’ve heard with Bono.
Thank you Stephen for the extended interview with our man Bono!! I love him, and it was a great interview he is a legend, and just a down to earth guy!! 🥰
Bono is like a second father to me. Ive been following the band since I was 12 years old.. this man has such a profound, significant place in my heart. Nice interview.
I could have said your words exactly, except I was 11 years-old.
Bono is full of crap
Wtf are the clowns in the audience all wearing masks for???? Jesus, give it a rest!
So great to hear an actual conversation in media. So rare in these times. Love Bono, and appreciate Colbert for the podium.
Two of the best human beings I can imagine having a fantastic heartfelt and funny conversation; it may take a few days for this smile to slip off my brain - thankyou Stephen.
Vomit..
Lol
Easy now with the praise... I've heard this new pope is not a bad fellow, too.
@@babaroga73 exactly
As a U2 fan since 1980, that was epic!
BONO is genius. I love his brilliant consciousness and expression.
Great singer, great mind, great man 👍
I have been madly in love with Bono and U2 since I was 11 years old. I will be 47 in April. They are quite literally the soundtrack of my life. If I ever got to meet them I would simply and humbly thank them for songs that made me, me.
Im not surprised that these 2 men got along so well - they have a lot in common: emotional intelligence from bereavement and living with ongoing physical issues (Stephen his hearing and Bono his Glaucoma and back issues). They both know how lucky they were to meet their life partner and co-parents so early in life and dread any thought of illness or suffering or loss for their respective beloved. They both wield influence responsibly with self awareness and intellect tempered with a healthy amount of self mockery. They are both Irish - Bono by birth and home, Stephen by genepool and culture. Both love Anerica and are fluent in it. Above all, they love justice and are Kind - all of those qualities are ones I appreciate in both - and U2s music is indelibly wrapped around my Irish heart like the claddagh ring Bono wears. Thank you Stephen for the great job you do; and Bono - Im so proud of you and how you and U2 live your lives. Nollaig Shona diabse go leir.
Except for when he's being a tool for the powers
Bono such a story teller.. One of the greatest voice and lyrics writer.. no matter how their song changed over the years, they have more great songs than any band next nirvana and radiohead I say... such a great interview of two taurus men
Ever hear of The Beatles? Pink Floyd
The Smiths, Depeche Mode, The Cure
It's almost like 2 old friends meeting each other. I feel like this is the beginning to a friendship, with how well they seem to get on.
i could listen to Bono all day his depth of thought and feeling he is and always has been an inspiration to me and the Irish sense of humour just gold he knows how to laugh at himself i just love him so much ❤
That Era was so connecting, angst was fused with social awareness, love, rebellion- extremely socially important time. I was at SLU Freshman year in '82 and big into the Scene of Psychedelic Furs, U2, Black Flag etc...Bono is a beautiful human being 🙏💜✌
First interview i have seen with Bono…. He left me awestruck….what a wonderfully talented and intelligent man
Love this been a U2 fan since 87
Never understood why some people at times are upset with Bono. Guy was always on the right side, speaking right and of course a great band.
Right side of George Bush 😂😂😂
I saw U2 at the University of Maryland way back in the 80s. I was there with this really hot chick that night. We were up along the side of the stage up on the concrete stairs making out the whole show. LOL next thing I know there was a bright spotlight on us. As we opened our eyes and looked up, Bono was standing right over us. He put his free hand on my head as he's singing "two hearts beat as one! Big smiles traded as he ruffled my hair around and smiled at Helen and went running off back down to the stage. Spotlights on us the whole time. What a memory. Wherever you are Helen Manning, what a great night that was! Thank you so very much! Oh, thanks to you too Bono! D 🎼🎵🎶🤘
Wow!
Great story, fellow alum! Were you at Art Attack?? Those were always such a fun time.
Excellent story!❤️
For you to have come out uncockblockable by Bono in his absolute pure raw most beautiful shit between Boy and UFF albums, is a testament to how special your young love is and without a doubt your Helen earned the title of hot chick that night. Now you can imagine the memory she shares with looking up and seeing Bono patting her boyfriend’s hair rocking the shit out of Two Hearts Beat as One. Fucking epic song! Cheers mate!
@@Allistar Meh Bono looked like a kid with silly hair who didnt grow into that nose yet from Boy to UFF. He looked way better post 1985.
I love how confident Stephen is interviewing such a legend. He really is a great interviewer. I feared up when Bono called us "the cavalry, because you always show up!"
Feared up?
Thank you for uploading the full interview!
U2 has been my favourite band since ‘86 (I’m 50 this year) and this is mainly due to Bono. There’s nothing better than finding out that the frontman to your favourite band is a genuinely good person. This interview shows how transparent, authentic, genuine and interesting he truly is. Colbert was the perfect host to interview him. It made me teary in a great way as I deeply love Bono and will forever be his biggest fan.
U2’s performance of Bad at Live Aid sealed the deal for me. It blew me away. I’ve been a fan ever since.
Same. Was a more casual fan until then. That performance made me understand that this would be a band I’d follow for a lifetime.
@@AndTheRoadGoesEverOn CD Me too. I could have seen them on the War tour and passed it up. I regret that.
I've said this before: U2 reached through my television at Live Aid, picked me up and took me to another place, moved me in a way no music ever does, really, no matter how great. U2 continued to do so through the years. I had spent the nine months prior to Live Aid getting into them and had everything by them on vinyl, including some live bootlegs, by July of '85 when I was 15. The entire year of 1987 with the Joshua Tree album and tour, I was completely transfixed watching them own that time and kinda bummed, really, that I was not right there with them living that life - a full and rich life, and I don't mean rich monetarily. And still yearning for more. Always.
Me too
Their greatest performance💜
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Stephen & Co., for this incomparable gift. Bono has been my North star since I was eight years old when War was released; I love him like a family member. But I've never gotten to hear him speak at such length, breadth, and depth. Thank you so much.
Hello, how are you doing?
Thanks for your love and support, I really appreciate you as my super fan! ❤️
Love Bono & U2! They've made so many classics
Listened to the 3 x 4 min extracts first, were interesting but very disjointed, then listened to the full 36 mins and got to appreciate the quality and engagement of Stephen and the insights and perspectives of Bono. Super interview, loved his comments and sense of America, definitely not finished, more like a teenager, currently going through a tempestuous time, divided household, hating their parents and parents trying to somehow keep things under control. No doubt there is a great leader in the offing, just none of the current characters. Thanks for sharing. 👍🙏😁❤️
As an Irishman (of a certain age) U2 and Tayto are the only institutions in my life that never let me down.
Ah yes, Tayto. I have find memories of them from my visits to Dublin.
Lol, U2 and Tayto. Up Meath
Love you ❤️Bono and U2
Bono has always been a freedom fighter for America.
I love their music. Bono is an incredible singer, a great performer. I feel blessed to have seen them live twice in the 90's. What a great interview, thank you for sharing.
Even if Bono wasn't Bono - or if you somehow didn't know who he was - this was such a beautiful and rewarding interview..
I've seen U2 3 times.. Joshua Tree, Amnesty International , and Pop Mart tour.. People may say all they want to say about commercialism.. But I still feel they are true to themselves and purpose.
Stephen is the ultimate host. I bet his dinner parties are the best.
Clarity vs winning the argument is one of Bono's greatest gifts. Bridging the gaps. Priceless interview.
He has a funny sense of humor! Love that he's been with the same woman forever. (Like BonJovi) Impressive person.
Thank you, Bono. I needed your words, your hope for America.
Hello mmogburn,
How are you doing?
Thanks for your love and support, I really appreciate you as my super fan! ❤️
God I love this man so much and he's blessed so many of us with his words and music.
Thank you, Stephen, for properly engaging a music legend.
U2 has always been and forever will be me absolute favourite. They’re extremely talented musicians! Cheers loves for the many wonderful memories and beautiful and inspirational songs! Bono is brilliant but The Edge is beyond words!! The way he masters that guitar just takes me away!! God bless you U2!! 💕🥰🙏🏻💕 Sadly and quite regrettably, I have yet to see them perform live in person. The tickets were always way out of my affordability. However, it’s on my dream bucket list. I hope that one day before they permanently stop performing live, I will be blessed to finally see them live!! 🥰🙏🏻💕🙏🏻It would be a dream come true and a very cherished memory!! For I have longed to see them live for 42 years!!
I hope you get to see them. Amazing. Seen U2 about 3 times. Some tickets were only $40 for one concert. I usually pay about $130 or under.
@BallymurphyBabe Yes, a recent U2 tour had some seats at $40. I hope you can one day see them play live. It’s when the band are at their finest-their most fully U2.
I paid 13.50 for tickets at the cow palace in San Francisco in 1984… best 13.50 I ever spent… or maybe that was the t shirt cost… can’t remember…anyway my favorite concert band u2 oh and and waterboys.
U2 squeeze every penny they can out of their business. Bono is out hawking his memoirs for a few more Euro. Do yourself a favor and just watch them on YT.
I saw them in Boston, 1st US tour. 1883 or 1984. It was so powerful. The Alarm opened and kicked it right off!!!!
Phenomenal Interview!! From the start, when Bono refused to sit and Stephen payed homage.
Absolutely Loved this!!
That may be the best interview Stephen has done.
What an amazing, uplifting interview! Thank you both for sharing love and hope and humor. Especially now when so much feels hopeless, it’s essential to remember how far we’ve come and how far we’ve yet to go. We can carry on best if we can listen to each other the way Steven and Bono do here. I feel stronger for spending this time with you both (and the audience, of course, who listened right along with you.)
"We need to listen to each other more"
Wonderful and insightful interview!!
This was a great interview. Bono and Colbert did not disappoint!!!
I could have watched this interview for hours. I felt like grabbing a coffee and joining them...in my dreams. Thought provoking, funny, and entertaining. It just doesn't get any better.
Better to me would have been to devote the show to airing the entire interview.
i never wanted the interview to end - like when i see U2 live it is the same feeling
Well done Stephen Colbert for this very appreciative interview!
this waw the best interview you have done Stephen. takes a great interviewer to keep Bono from being bored and you did it :)
This is like having a conversation with a friend of 35 years. I loved this.
its perfect to wear those rosie colored glasses .. every one of us should see life and the future like Bono does..
inspirational interview and a true artist.. these 2 gelled together so well..loved it!!
U2/Bono came into my life when things seemed really bleak...I will probably never be able to thank them personally, but they saved my life - they gave me something to live for when I thought I couldn't go on. 30 years later things still get rough at times, but they always seem to help me through it. Got to be in the audience at Bono's recent show in Boston and while I'm not a religious person - it was akin to a religious experience for me...as every U2 show has been... I love this man, this band...and I say thank-you to them for everything. ❤
Exceptional tv interview Stephen & Bono! Bravo.
I am very happy you did this here on RUclips. To see Bono in this basic form is wonderful! I wish you would do this with a lot more of your guests.
I could listen to him speak and share his ideas and feelings forever. What an intelligent, humorous, caring, insightful, honest, and truthful individual. I felt like he has more faith in us and our country than I do right now. Thank you for that.
I remember when U2 came to the US on their first tour - not the big stadiums - but the smaller clubs. They came to the Bayou in DC - it'll be 42 years ago in December. It was incredible, and everyone knew that night, that they would be huge. Then saw them at RFK stadium - their first big stadium tour in 1987 - and again, it was just incredible.
All the best to him - he is truly a treasure
Great Bono interview with much wisdom shared, thanks to you all.
So encouraging to hear that others see our country as on its way. I needed to hear that.
Hello how are you doing,how long have you been a fan of mine
I love U2 epic band watching this interview takes me back to the '80s of how they stood out and they're powerful performance Bono you put a happy tear to my eye just watching this in traffic going home
Such a lovely interview, makes me smile just to listen to Bono's stories.
my heart warms when he turns to talk to the audience, he says something important. None of us are better than All of us.
Remarkable. “All of us are better than any of us.” - Bono
Such a great interview. thank you, Stephen.
Magnificent interview. What wonderful men and Bono hoy cow.. you inspire me and make me feel proud to take part in the creation of our country instead of ashamed of its past. God bless you and thank you for sharing your life and talent with us all.
✨✨🌹✨✨
