U2 no «60 minutos»
Os U2 foram entrevistados no famoso programa da CBS «60 minutes», em breve o programa poderá ser visto em Portugal na SIC Noticias. Aqui fica um excerto dessa entrevista:
« Bono has said when fans are screaming, it’s not about the band, it’s about them. “It's unexplainable what a song means to you. Because, remember, songs, it's not like a movie you see once or twice. A song, it gets under your skin and that's why [we] abandon ourselves to it,” says Bono. “It has a sense of kind of uplift, of getting airborne.”
“Everything feels possible. And maybe more things are possible than we think,” he adds.
And at every concert, the band tries to make that happen. Before the show, fans are asked to join a campaign to help end world poverty. And during the performance, Bono sings of social justice and argues for religious harmony.
Mullen says being Irish helped shape the bands’ political and social concerns. “I mean we lived all our lives with the terrorist situation in northern Ireland. And with the British army and seeing that on the news night after night, atrocity after atrocity,” says Mullen. “But more than anything else, for the British folks Irish people were all terrorists. So when we went to Britain, it was always a lot of resistance to U2. And that's why we came to America.” »
