BONO — SURRENDER, 40 SONGS, ONE STORY — 2022

Bono is an extremely well-known person today in the field of music and political activism at the world’s global level. His name is attached to the band, or the group, U2 that has dominated the rock and roll stage for at least fifty years. This longevity is the result of the Solomonic wisdom of these four musicians that always have had an expert manager who kept the collective intellectual property perfectly collective so that there could not be some kind of disbanding with each member taking away this or that part of the creative work, depriving the others of this part and depriving himself of the parts of the other members.

But Bono and U2 are also attached to various international causes and actions that make them extremely special in many ways. HIV/AIDS is one of these causes, particularly in Africa. Their position was both ethical with the protection of people against the disease and the natural and economic-social position that anyone who is sick has to be medically helped before they die. True enough concerning Africa the only help these HIV/AIDS patients could get when U2 entered the battlefield, was some help to bury the bodies. Bono and U2 managed to get Condoleezza Rice and George W. Bush on board, and it produced a real change in the field, particularly for Africa.
