"That song 'Mofo' is hardcore. If I could put my whole life into one song, it'd be something close to that." --Bono, from the PopMart Tourbook
Mofo is the epitomy of a man revealing, concealing, stealing, dealing, bringing the listener to his or her knees lyrically and musically with the soul strength to support the life of one as brutally honest and forthright as Bono is in that song.
So, I was thinking about this quote, and though I know it is impossible to put my life into just one U2 song, for me it would have to be 'Bad'...for no other reason then what I am, and what I hope to be, or should be don't always look the same...yeah, my whole life possibly into one song, 'Bad' would be something close to that.
Anyone else care to divulge one U2 song that you feel could encompass your life as close to possible as possible can be, and the reason why?

"That's what's happening to U2 on tour in the United States at the moment - we're just a conduit for all this joy and hope and despair and it's all coming out - People say, 'Oh, Rock and Roll is great - just takes people's minds off of it' - No. That is not our job. Our job is to take people's minds through it." --Bono's take on the Elevation Tour since 9/11
