One life, with each other, sisters, brothers
One life, with each other, sisters, brothers, from U2’s One is Britain’s favourite lyric, according to a music channel VH1 poll.
Meanwhile yesterday’s Kansas City Star followed up on the story of everybody’s favourite Irish rock band and the U2 Eucharist in Rhode Island, though Episcopal parishes from California to Maine have had similar events, weaving the Irish band’s music into the liturgy.
My parents’ local church in Dublin have been blasting out U2 covers for years. Christmas being special, it’s drop your hippy traditional folk music time, and let those electric guitars rip. First time in that little church I heard Without or Without You I was thinking I actually could live without you. Might have been different if they’d handed out earplugs and glow sticks though.
