It's a scene familiar to any aficianado of musical bio-pics: at some point, one of the characters in the film will say something that incorporates a song title or a bit of the lyrics of the artist in question, as a kind of wink to the audience (examples: the "stu sutcliffe" character in BACKBEAT telling his doctor he's been working "eight days a week," Benny's music teacher in THE BENNY GOODMAN STORY crying out "don't be that way!", etc.). There are two responses to this sort of winking-- 1) You think it's hokey and squirm in your seat or 2) You think it's cute and feel pleasure at getting the joke. If you fall into category two, you will probably enjoy INTO THE HEART, which is full of such passages (Bono is said to be "ready for what's next," the band is "even better than the real thing," etc.). If, like me, you fall into the first category, you'll probably see the book as a missed opportunity. This is a wonderful idea for a book, and it starts off promisingly, with an introduction full of amusing anecdotes and thoughtful contextualization (you have to respect a writer who sees connections between the band's music and the work of paul auster, for instance). But as Stokes moves from album to album, song to song, a sense of disappointment slowly descends-- he seems caught between seeing the tunes as mere pop ephemera (there's a constant resistance to interpretation) and wanting to place the band in a tradition of great irish artists (wilde is one touchstone mentioned).
