U2’s Bono Talks with David Remnick
Bono joined David Remnick at the 2022 New Yorker Festival to talk about his new memoir, “Surrender.” “When I sang in U2, something got ahold of me,” Bono said. “And it made sense of me.” They discussed how the band almost ended because of the members’ religious faith, and how they navigated the Troubles as a bunch of young men from Dublin suddenly on the world stage. Bono shared a life lesson from Paul McCartney, and he opened up about the early death of his mother. “This wound in me just turned into this opening where I had to fill the hole with music,” Bono said. In the loss of a loved one, “there's sometimes a gift. The opening up of music came from my mother.”

Honoring a Life: RIP Peter Schjeldahl
Quite a loss - My thoughts on Peter Schjeldahl from April 2005 Speed of Life: Peter Schjeldahl at SFMOMA https://t.co/1gKhLJMePZ pic.twitter.com/C6oO1Mm6h3 — Gregg Chadwick (@greggchadwick) October 21, 2022 In 2005, during the Q&A after a lecture at SFMOMA, I asked Peter Schjeldahl about the place of beauty in contemporary art. Peter leaned forward and spoke from the heart." This is an important, if not controversial, question that I write about often. In the 60s and 70s in academia it was the forbidden word. A group of art historians could look up at the blue sky and and declare it a beautiful day on their way to a conference on contemporary art. But once in the doors of the conference room, beauty ceased to exist." Peter concluded by stating, "Art does not have to address beauty- to reach for beauty. But it sure is great if it does."

My Anna portrait hangs in my new house now -- but here's where she resided during my first few months in this beautiful, sometimes brutal city. She reminds me to hold on to my ferocity.
