Bono had a busy New York weekend, appearing at two notable events: the presentation of Bruce Springsteen with the Harry Belafonte Social Justice Award and the screening of Guggi’s documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival.


In this mini-episode, the Garden Tarts break down the scenes around both appearances, from the intense crowding outside the venues to the memorable moments onstage. They also note how important it is for fans to respect boundaries and keep artists safe in public settings.


Listener contributions make this episode especially vivid. PJ from Achtoon Baby shares thoughtful observations about Guggi’s film, including its portrayal of Dublin, the studio setting, and the charm of the Q&A. Kristen recounts seeing Bono introduce Bruce, Patti Smith join the stage, and the powerful performance of “People Have the Power.”


The episode also touches on the enduring friendship between Bono and Guggi, the emotional resonance of Bad, and a universal truth for Garden Tarts fans everywhere: Ali Hewson always brings style goals.


It’s a quick but rich episode packed with music history, fan perspective, and a reminder of why these moments matter to U2 fans and adjacent music lovers alike.


Stream the episode, smash subscribe, and help these two snarky U2 fans build this into a real‑life business.
