I am not sure where this post should go, I think here.
I was browsing the forum at U2Spain cos I am living here in Barcelona and want to see what the fan base is like, that kind of thing. See if there are other U2 geeks in the city.
There was a post called "what is the best and worst thing about U2?".
Almost everyone has said the worst thing is their "religiosity". That there music is better when it is not influenced by religion, like Achtung Baby and Pop.
The truth is I find this mind boggling how one thinks one can separate religion from U2's music. That is like saying, "I like it better when Bono's feelings about his mother's death doesn't influence his music." A-duh, that's impossible! Its all there, all the time.
You may be wondering why I am venting here. I signed up and posted in my mangled Spanish and just don't have the ability to express myself completely. (what is "a-duh" in spanish?)
I am also wondering what some of you think around here. Can it be separated? To me it can't. The religious beliefs of the group seem to be highly valued and respected in this forum.
I think it has to do with religion in Spain. But I won't start on that.
Any thoughts?
