Back in the day of Boy and the Joshua Tree albums they spoke to me but now it seems to me that they are getting just a little too much in love with themselves. I mean, “Father Abraham …….” That’s thousands of years of relgious seeking and theological thinking just overlooked as if there was no real truth or progress after Abraham. Come on Bono, you dont think that religious passion that was there in “Where the Steets Have no Name” and in “When Love comes to Town” was real?

Just for a little bit, we get a sense that everything will be okay someday…there’s unity…there’s art…there’s beauty…there’s Divinity…all held together by some great rock n roll.
For me, it’s a sliver of a glimpse of the joy and unity we’ll experience in heaven that day….where the streets have no name.
Peace.
