Don’t you love how literate U2 is? This goes all the way back to their first album, Boy, where they referenced Oscar Wilde in “The Ocean” and William Golding’s Lord of the Flies with the title of the album’s final cut, “Shadows and Tall Trees”. A few years later, on War, “40” quoted the Bible, […]
Read More1st Bono pretended to play Jesus to the lepers in our head, then Judas…..now….ROGER JOHNSON!
