This show is about more than the state of our world. It is about the state of our hearts. Acrobat was more than a critique of Trump; it was a critique of our spirits. It was introduced with desire and the wheel of the seven deadly sins for a reason. Remember, we the audience are chided for...

I considered myself a 'young fan' when I first joined. I think I've been on Interference for over half of my life! I discovered the site during my Sophomore year of college and now I'm 39...eek.

In 2007, I had just married my husband of 11 years and was pursuing a Masters in English LIterature. I was obsessed with U2 and music in general and probably listened to music an average of 2 hrs a day. Politically, I leaned left in many areas but considered myself Pro-Life. Back then, it...

Congratulations. I actually have a friend who is a professor at SWOSU. His name is Dave Martin.

I have been a U2 fan for nearly half of my 35 year old life at this point. I listened to them when I was five years old and my mom loved War and I discovered them for myself during my senior year of high school. Their music gave me a tool to talk to and try to understand God even during times...

Jesus may have walked on water but did his soles ever caress the sable golden silk of Taiwan's eastern shores? I wonder if his toes ever teased its basalt grains as the ocean lapped it up. Its tongue a Labrador retriever returning God's rubber ball carrying the silky crumbs back to our beginnings.

The Ether I grew sick. Exhausted by all the programmed tongues Repeating sound lacking sense Blaring scripts which feigned light and hope But only bandaged my tears and gashes So I didn’t just let go. I unlatched every tether. Each fractured rope- every sweet scented deceit I hoped to unearth...

U2 were definitely a college band for me. I got into them on my own during the end of my senior year of high school and saw them play as a high school graduation present (popmart). The next year I fell in love with the group and by November of 1997, I had a tape or cd of every major album...

Overshadowing implantations Heard it was a Roman soldier You know how they are. Overshadowing implications Honestly poor Joseph You don’t think he’ll believe her story? Overshadowing imaginations Happened in a dream you say? Angels told him she was true...

Thanks for reminding me about this:)

U2 is my favorite music artist of all time, but I am not sure that they are the best. Honestly, U2 are one of the few remaining secular artists on my IPOD. I recognize that there are many excellent bands and singers out there, but I find myself placing more emphasis on the themes and values of...

Collide. Who is this man with twin mirrors reflecting the Ethiopian sky His eyes like the Jordan River? Staring my lens into submission blinding me with the glare. He bares a rosary on his breast Stumbling away from rock n roll divinity recalling the slain at her altar. He grasps at an...

Yes, the connection to the Psalms I knew as well, but I didn't realize that the quote of Nietzche's and the album title were connected...

Actually, that is what I meant to type...sorry.

A few days ago, there was a Bono interview published in a French newspaper. Within the article he mentioned the importance of a long obedience in the same direction", which originated with Nietzche. However, Eugene Peterson wrote a book titled "A Long Obedience in the Same Direction" and since...

Loud First. I unlocked my lips Parted them like the Red Sea Packed my lungs with air Exhaled in screams You fiddled with the radio. Second. I fastened my eyes Squeezed them against my brow Drew out bitter brine Spilled it on my face You stared at the television. Finally. I clutched my blade...

Frayed jean jacket Shoes missing souls Green sky No horizon Singed grey limbs Silver veins tangle Violet eyes Violent circles Toes curled tight Finger grips a rail Blue water Vacant bridge.

In the tour program, Jack Heaslip is listed as the "spiritual and human resources director" :)

Although I hadn't originally planned to see this show, when I found a flight for under 200 dollars last night, I decided to use the ticket my best friend had after another friend backed out. OU is my alma-mater and my parents were at the last Oklahoma U2 show. For this reason and the fact that...

Yes. But perhaps NIN and U2 do not share the same beliefs. Melancholy and somewhat depressing music is honest if that is what you are really feeling, but I just don't think that that is where u2 ARE personally. Take Kingdom for example- yes it doesn't have bright choruses but it still has a...

Y ou know, Bono is nearing 50 years old. It is possible that he has come to some understanding and acceptance about many of the things that 20 somethings angst over. I think that NLOTH has a good balance of joy and struggle and it feels like me the true expressions of a group of people that...

That wasn't my point. Neil also recently said this same thing and it was in reference to the complaint that has been made on this post about people reading the spiritual into u2 songs. Since Bono himself replied to that assertion, I thought it was worth mentioning.

"People hear what they want to hear"- This was Neil McCormick's response to an assertion he heard at the u2 conference regarding Achtung Baby being linked to the biblical fall of man. However, when he complained to Bono about this, Bono surprised him by saying "that sounds bang on to me."...
