Publisher's Synopsis
This book traces U2's incredible ascent from a young fledgling Irish band on its first tour of America in 1980 to one of the world's biggest groups. As a free-lance writer and disc jockey and Music Director with Boston's WBCN-FM, Carter Alan traveled extensively with U2 and conducted many interviews which form the basis of this unique and personal story. Originally printed in 1992 by Faber and Faber, "Outside is America" was updated in '97 as "The Road to Pop." After selling out of several editions, "Outside is America" has been out of print. This new 2009 version adds fresh interview material.
