U2's significant career far exceeds that of most average successful
rock bands, with a prolific output of thirteen well-received studio
albums and a sometimes relentless touring schedule. The band is
famous for uniquely drawing together music, art, faith, and
activism, all within a lucrative career that has given each of
these elements an unusual degree of social and cultural resonance.
Broad-minded musically and intellectually, U2'soutput is
thematically rich, addressing a slew of topics, from questions of
faith to anxieties about commercialism to outright political
statements. With one of the largest fan bases in the history of
rock music, U2 and their work require contextualization and
exploration. In U2: Rock 'n' Roll to Change the World, Timothy D.
Neufeld takes up this challenge. Neufeld explores U2's move from
the youthful idealism of a band barely able to play instruments
through its many phases of artistic expression and cultural
engagement to its employment of faith and activism as a foundation
for its success. This book outlines how U2 reshaped the very
musical and even political culture that had originally shaped it,
demonstrating through close readings of its musical work the
dynamic interplay of artistic expression and social engagement.
