Here are the 6 most inspiring moments from ‘Bono & the Edge: A Sort of Homecoming With Dave Letterman.’
The film, advertised as “part concert movie, part travel adventure plus a whole lot of Bono and The Edge, with Dave’s humor throughout,” does exactly that, as Letterman navigates the origins and cultural impact of U2.
“It was part of a pushback against the conservative society that we were a part of,” The Edge explained, before joking that U2 members Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. weren’t given the best nicknames, and that’s why they ultimately decided to move forward with their real names. Clayton was “Mrs. Burns” and Mullen was “The Jam Jar.”A lesser known fact among younger U2 fans is just how much the religious turmoil of Ireland inspired the band.
As the future of drag in the United States is currently in danger, thanks to the recent wave of anti-drag and anti-trans legislation introduced by Republican lawmakers in the U.S., it felt important to see how strongly U2 supports the rights of people of all sexualities — particularly drag queens.joined U2 onstage
On how U2 impacted the movement of equality in Ireland, Panti noted, ” U2 was part of what allowed Ireland to stand on its own two feet and have our own thing. I appreciated that at the time and I still do now.”It’s rare to see a band maintain a close friendship after 50 years of working together, but Bono and The Edge took a moment during their concert performance at Dublin’s Ambassador Theatre to shower each other with love.
