Yeah I'm thinking we're back. Back with a big one. Back with Bono. He wrote a memoir called Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story and we're podcasting all about it. Well, not all about it, but about half of it, because Bono's book is so meaty that it requires a two-part podcast. We dig into Bono's early life in bubblin' Dublin, the crucial single week where he asked out his wife and joined U2, his political awakening and initial transition into "foreign dignitary," and the time he made a Parmesan cheese sandwich at Paul McGuinness's house. It's a wild ride, and an Irish one. Missed you guys :)
