Fuck Bono
But ugh u2 mostly sings about external events or they’re almost like adult contemporary I thought she moves in mysterious ways was pretty good. I don’t know if I really one it’s a bit too much for me.
I just feel like Christianity is a really easy answer and solution, it’s easy to look at everything like it’s failed and then always go back to Christianity, because it’s supposed to be like this bedrock of western civilization, but I feel like often times it’s just a bandage. And yes Bono is a Christian supposedly, oddly enough.
I just feel like maybe I could write about the idea of what it means to be good somehow, outside of obvious sources like just plainly being Christian and having a relationship with God that is really obvious and in your face. Because that’s what it was for me, it was like a whole other world, trapped between the hoods and the religious people it was hellish. A lot of the people I grew up with were sort of hood. I guess that’s what it is, the hood is there for you or something. Or really religious, I would run into so many people oh blonde check fair skin check super religious check, unless they were like a Muslim maybe there was some of those I think.
It wouldn’t really focus on external events as much so that would leave out like Bono and the baby boomers. Because I listened to a lot of artists growing up and I thought they were pained and troubled by the same things, but I later realized that even though some artists may have had lofty opinions or ideals they weren’t exactly as preoccupied with being righteous as I was. But it’s a double sided issue.
For one I really wouldn’t want to sound too Christian, and that’s already been done anyway. But then see it’s almost hard to make your case for any sort of ‘goodness’ then exactly I guess. So then you’ll just seem weird and of place probably. It would be really hard not to run the risk of sounding like Bono possibly.
