On receiving confirmation of a Greatest Hits album to be released in
November I actually got kind of excited, especially at hearing a special
B-side CD will accompany this greatest hits CD.....cool! Now I don't have
do go out and buy all those expensive import singles cause they'll be on one
CD!
What do you think will be the tracklist for the Greatest Hits album?
For 1980-1990 the following are my suggestions:
I Will Follow
Gloria
11 O'Clock Ticktock (live from Under a Blood Red Sky hopefully)
Sunday Bloody Sunday (live also hopefully)
New Years Day
Pride (In the name of love)
The Unforgettable Fire
Where the Streets have no name
I still haven't found what I'm looking for
With or without you
Bullet the Blue Sky (Rattle and Hum version)
Desire
Angel of Harlem
When love comes to town
All I want is you
------------------------------------------------------------------
Now about the Christian bashing that's been going on lately....
I do not agree with certain comments made about Clinton and U2 recently on
Wire, someone attacked their personal beliefs!
Who are we, people who don't actually know these people personally, to judge
them on their personal beliefs and faith?
I do not see why their own Christianity, whatever shape or form it comes in,
should concern us.
What matters is that they have placed their faith in Jesus Christ as their
saviour.
If they have done this, then the rest is inconsequential, because they can
be assured of where they're going when they leave this wretched planet.
Although I have said this, I would like to suggest that Adam take a look at
his own personal beliefs more closely. Adam is the supposed "non-Christian"
of U2, he had no part in U2's exploration of Christianity in the early days
of the band while Dave, Paul and Larry did.
I would like to suggest that certain songs on Pop are also having a bit of a
lash out at God. If God Will Send His Angels and Wake Up Dead Man are
especially negative songs, coming from a band that is majority supposed to
hold Christian ideologies. I think this may have something to do with the
fact that the members of the band have certainly fallen short of God's
standards in recent years and are having difficulty reconciling them!
Anyway, I wish that they would not have released these songs, because they
in effect, discourage others in their faith...and that is what U2 is not
meant to be about!!!!
Signing off,
Wilson.
