Into the Heart - Manifesto
Listen now
Description
Give a listen to the manifesto to the all new Into The Heart of U2 Podcast - the most comprehensive deep dive into the history of U2, album by album and tour by tour, the fan experience, and the perception of U2 in cultural consciousness. Hosted by author and musician Bill See and Melody Muraca, founder of one of the first notable U2 fanzines, the Into The Heart of U2 Podcast takes a close and critical looking at the history and evolution of the band's music and look at it in context of the time in which it was written. How art and cultural history have shaped U2's music, and how U2's creative output and influence have in turn shaped the musical and cultural climate of the past 45 years or so. It also examines the bigger question about artists like U2 that struggle to sustain greatness: that is to say: Does a band’s output that becomes a series of diminishing returns tarnish its legacy? It launches September 29th with Boy, October and War. All that and more, here, on the Into The Heart of U2 Podcast.
