One of the things I have so admired about U2 is their ability to combine spirituality in their music without engaging in "cram-down" evangelism. I have always thought that a lot of their music is like the parables in the New Testament - stories with a veiled lesson, not obvious "thou shalt nots", but if you listen, or substitute God for "her" etc. the whole meaning of the songs change for those who want to listen. Songs like Grace, UTEOTW, Mysterious Ways, etc. are so obviously spiritual in nature. A big change from their earlier work that was more obvious... Do you guys agree?
It's kind of nice to hear stuff from people who are walking in faith as opposed to holding themselves up as righteous. I mean, we all have temptations and step off the line at times, it is kind of nice to think that maybe you are not alone in this and that faith is a journey as opposed to a "status".
I'd love to sit down and discuss religion with these guys - what a bomb that converstaion would be...
Well back to work now.
