Bono and the Irresistible Revolution
I just finished reading Shane Claiborne’s book “The Irresistible Revolution – living as an ordinary radical.”
It was a great read. Inspiring and insightful and I would argue like Brandt Russo – its a must read for any and all who want to find new meaning in what it means to follow Jesus Christ.
Towards the end [...]

U2 on Letterman
For my friends in the UK and elsewhere who either don’t get Letterman – or missed seeing U2 last night, YouTube’s got the video (for now).
There’s nothing from the band’s performance on Letterman’s Website yet, but there is a hillarious “Ask U2″ bit that I’d encourage you to check out.
Every day I die again, and [...]

U2’s ‘White as Snow’
While some have told me they’re not digging U2’s new album, I’m loving it more and more as I listen to it.
Did a little research on the somber track “White as Snow,” of which I originally said, “The opening guitar, bass and vocals immediately remind me of Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson (U2’s worked with [...]

U2 – Stand Up Comedy
Loving this song…
“Stand Up Comedy” – U2
Love love love love love
Love love love love love
I got to stand up and take a step
You and I have been asleep for hours
I got to stand up
The wire is stretched
In between our two towers
Stand up in this dizzy world
Where a lovesick eye can steal the view
I’m gonna fall [...]

Bono on “non-believers”

He says that a lot of people he most admires are non-believers. Bill Gates. Warren Buffett. “People who are prepared to spend their entire life’s fortune trying to make the lives of people they don’t know a lot better. [...]
