TV review: Stories of Surrender shows Bono baldly defending his reputation

It’s gripping and surprising, showing a Bono that doesn’t come across in interviews.

Ten minutes into Bono: Stories of Surrender (Apple TV+) and I’m thinking someone should have told Bono not to do this.

And then he starts talking about his father Bob, how he never mentioned Bono’s mother again after she died, riddled with grief. And then this show comes alive.
