This is the Q&A portion of the book launch of We Get to Carry Each Other: The Gospel According to U2 by Greg Garrett. It occurred at Carmichael's Bookstore in Louisville, KY on July 17, 2009. This video includes Greg Garrett leading a discussion and Q & A session of his new book We Get to Carry Each Other: The Gospel According to U2. Who among us has not experienced hearing a song that moved us deeply, that spoke to us in a truly spiritual way? Millions of fans around the world have found that inspiration in the music of U2, arguably the biggest band in the world today. Now comes this engaging and informative examination of the spirituality that drives the band and its music. Garrett, who interviewed the fledgling band on their second U.S. tour, takes us from their upbringing in Ireland, to their dominance over the music scene in the early 1990s, and then to their role as spiritual ambassadors to post-9/11 America. Throughout we get a picture of the spirituality that flows out of U2's music and how their influence has spread beyond music into issues such as AIDS activism, debt relief for developing nations, and the crisis in Darfur.
