Will do, and would you like a pepsi or a capri sun?
I call for Wild Cherry Capri Sun! (It's made with
pear juice! I dunno how you can make something from pears and call it cherry, but it's so good, that I'll follow it blindly anyway!
)

Which brings us back to "surfer dude" he fails to mention the U2 songs that are obviously about God, and can't be misinterpreted like Gloria where Bono sings "Gloria in Te Domini, Gloria Exultate" or the fact that Bono denounces the devil in God Part ll "Don't believe the devil/I don't believe his book/But the truth is not the same/ Without the lies he made up" and what about All Because of You...I Am is a direct reference to God and being born again. Then you've got Yahweh....but I'm preaching to the converted here, so to speak!
I imagine it was made before HTDAAB, and that the people behind it think U2 was all good and holy... until they hit it big (The Joshua Tree), and turned to evil
You know what the kicker is though? I got into U2
because I heard the line "Your love is teaching me how... how to kneel!" in Vertigo, and then remembered a very religious friend years ago mentioning that "U2 used to be Christians". My reaction to Vertigo was "Well... they're still singing about God, it seems", and then I did my research and found out they'd never
stopped being Christians, and I looked into the lyrics, and found God in almost every song, and
that's why I wanted to get into U2, because they were comfortable with their faith, while still being comfortable in their own skin, and that was exactly the sort of thing I needed at the time. ...And that was one heck of a run on sentence
And as for the surfer voice? The best part was when he went "Woe! Or vengeance! Unto them!" His "woe" sounded so much like a surfer "Woah!", that I totally pictured Keanu Reeves
