Re: Over-The-Rhine Digest V3 #551
i said it :), and i am aware that u2 fits into that category...although i
honestly never picked up on the christian thing until i read about it (i was
6 or 7 when the joshua tree came out, and although i loved that record even
then, i wasn't too coherent regarding, say, "gloria" or "40".)
they do fit into that category, and yet they completely escape it somehow.
you don't ever hear people asking about their faith in the same way they ask
about OtR or sixpence or sarah masen...and this is because people didn't
come to be fans of u2 through cornerstone or truetunes or grassroots
music.com or friends who listened to other bands in that subculture.
it's all perspective.
