Book Review: Honest Down to Earth Ordinary Guys on a Journey
Summary: 5 Stars
Four guys on a collision course at a crossroads could have become a car wreck, instead they gelled in to one - the global phenomena U2. There are many books about the band at various stages of their career, some good some not so good, but as they sit down with their manager Paul McGuinness they discuss the truth about their lives in the band and explain as to how 4 very different men can make such rich and passionate music for us to enjoy, if they had similar personalities I doubt very much that U2 would be still a band. Edited brilliantly it is written in a retrospective discussion style each man gives his opinion on their journey so far peronally and as friends, they answer many questions, but they also ask much more which will be answered as they continue their journey. One thing that can be certain is that whatever happens they will forever be friends IF ever the roller coaster of U2 ends...
The book actually made me think Do I actually like them? That's a big question, I was brought up in the same city, I have uncanny similarities with each band member but with one in particular, maybe it's that I'm a "Dub" or it's much deeper. I have very similar politics, I love their music, I respect them, they ARE ordinary people in their private lives, yet together they explode in to a kaleidascope of colour, they are sticks of dynamite waiting for something to light the fuse, but do I like them? I have figured it out, as I look in to a mirror, I like things about these 4 friends that I like about myself, and dislike the things about them that I dislike about myself. I haven't found what I'm looking for - I'm about to go on a journey which will affect me the rest of my life - inspired by one of their songs and with their lyrics I know I will succeed.... maybe then I will understand....
