Been getting into the brilliant Velvet Underground. Was listening to their third eponymously titled LP today and came across their track Jesus. It has the same acoustic tone, the same pleaing to Jesus/God and even the same opening line 'Jesus help me'.
A rip-off? A homage? Do U2 even know about their similarity? I would guess at least Bono knows, since he and Lou Reed became friends when Bono started staying in New York. (Reed is the'friend' in the track New York - Reed also made an LP with the same title.)
