Rock n' Roll Doggie
I picked this book up at Tower Records when I was in Philly this weekend...I was not impressed.
Sure it looked pretty...but this is definitely an example of the old cliche, "you can't judge a book by its cover."
It's entry on UTEOTW was...how shall I say...perverted. Not only did it discuss oral sex, orgasms and so on, but it also hinted at a homoerotic relationship between Christ and Judas.
I definitely was not impressed with this guy's insight.
Next came the entry for Tomorrow. Said something to the effect that the song was marred by the band's attempt at folk rock with Bono's ad lib. at the end being one of his worst misjudgements.
A basic pattern I noticed was that it downplayed the spiritual aspects to most of the songs and instead focused on the secular side, perhaps the topic more people are willing to accept.
Overall I was very disappointed and returned it the next day. The book told me nothing that I didn't already know. Definitely not worth the money...at least in my opinion.
Anyone else own it or have opinions?
