Thanks to a pointer from Blogs4God, I just checked out the post about Bono on Sex, God and Rock & Roll.
I really appreciated this quote from Bono:
The blues are like the Psalms of David. Here was this character, living in a cave, whose outbursts were as much criticism as praise. There’s David singing, “Oh, God — where are you when I need you?/You call yourself God?†And you go, this is the blues.
And then this one:
The music that really turns me on is either running toward God or away from God. Both recognize the pivot, that God is at the center of the jaunt. So the blues, on one hand — running away; gospel, the Mighty Clouds of Joy — running towards.
God at the center…that’s what it’s all about.
