The Edge chats with Public Enemy leader Chuck D on a new episode of the U2 guitarist’s U2 X-Radio series, “Close To The Edge,” on SiriusXM.

Listen as the music legends reflect on touring together during U2’s iconic ZooTV tour in the early ’90s, their punk-rock influences, AI in music, and the future of protest music. Chuck D just released “Chuck D Presents Enemy Radio: Radio Armageddon,” his first solo album in seven years.

“The highlight [during the ZooTV tour] that gets talked about is when we played in Arizona at Sun Devil Stadium, and we protested them not having a Dr. King holiday,” Chuck says. “So we played our intro, then we played “By the Time I get to Arizona,” and then left the stage. That was a statement that resonated, and we thank you for understanding that.”

Stream the full episode anytime on the SiriusXM app and web player, or listen to it in car radios on U2 X-Radio during the broadcast times below.
