You have to appreciate his commitment to social causes – always pushing for change, always trying to fix things.Good for him. Most people don’t even bother. Trying to change the world and maybe transcend it. Singing for a world too obsessed with noise to listen.Searching for redemption like all of us are – and he seems to be aware of the depths of that search.He knows the distance between the soul and the public square.He’s got guts that guy. Bravo Bono.’ Bob Dylan‘A brilliant, very funny, very revealing, autobiography-through-music.Maybe the best book ever written about being a rockstar.’ Caitlin Moran‘Surrender is a rich and honest book, rich because of its honesty.If you want to know the man behind the shades, read this book.He’s worth getting to know.’ Salman Rushdie
