U2, Bullet The Blue Sky (Live) In the howling wind comes a stinging rain See it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain From the firefly a red orange scared in the valley below Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue sky In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome Plant a demon seed You raise a flower of fire See them burning crosses see the flames higher and higher Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue So this guy comes up to me His face red like the rose of a thorn bush Like all the colours of a royal flush And he's peelin off those dollar bills Slappin them down One hundred Two hundred And i can see the fighter planes i can see the fighter planes Across the mudhuts as the children sleep Through the alleys of a quiet city street up the staircase to the first floor Turn the key and slowly unlock the door A man breathes into a saxophone Through the walls we hear the city groan Outside is America Outside is America *Guitar Solo* So back in my hotel room Metallic on train and the love supreme In the next room we hear a women scream out As her lover's turnin' off and turnin' on the television I can't tell the difference between ABC news Hill street Blues and a preacher of the old time gospel hour stealin' money from the sick and the old Well the god I believe in ain't short of cash mister I fell along way from the hills of San Salvador Where the sky is ripped open And the rain pours through a gaping wound Pelting the women and children Pelting the women and children Come on, come on Into the arms of America U2 - Bullet The Blue Sky (Live) w Teksciory.pl.

PSCI 11 the Gospel According to U2 Winter Study 2008
PSCI 11 The Gospel According to U2 Winter Study 2008 Professor Darel E. Paul PSCI 11 Stetson g19 Griffin 6 597-2327 TWR 10am-noon [email protected] Office Hrs.: Mondays 2:00pm - 4:00pm and by appointment Course Description It has been said that U2 is the "world's greatest rock band" – but is it also (unknown to most) the world's greatest – and most unusual – Christian rock band? This course explores the theology, spirituality and politics of U2 expressed through the group's songs, stage performances and human right campaigns. We will travel from the band's origins in the Shalom Christian Fellowship in Dublin to their overtly Christian second album October (1981); the culmination of their superstardom in Joshua Tree (1987); through their techno and ultra-ironic 1990s marked by Zoo-TV, PopMart and Bono's "mock the devil" phase as Mr. MacPhisto; and a return to their roots in All That You Can't Leave Behind (2000) and How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (2004). Along the way, we will listen to a lot of U2, watch some videos and tour footage – but it's not all fun and games. We will also read serious theological and philosophical tracts on U2 lyrics and explore the band's complicated interweaving of faith, sexuality, grace, fame, doubt, justice, and the meaning of America in a way which makes them a surprisingly popular and poignant spiritual voice in our superficial and materialistic age. We will also delve into the group's human rights and social justice work, from Band Aid in the ‘80s to (Product)RED today, and in particular explore Bono's Christian social justice moorings.

It’s most often an honest question from both colleagues and non-teachers alike, though sometimes the latter’s fascination with “summers off” borders on an obsession. Still, in whatever form, the question still comes: “What do you have planned for the summer?” Even though I answer this question more assuredly as a college teacher than I did as a high school teacher, this year I find myself fishing for an answer that will satisfy.

1 U2 and Igor Stravinsky: Textures, Timbres, and the Devil Dr. Dan
U2 and Igor Stravinsky: Textures, Timbres, and the Devil Dr. Dan Pinkston Introduction At first glance, Igor Stravinsky and U2 have little in common. A Russian composer known for ballets and symphonies and four Irish rock stars inhabit different musical genres and approaches. This paper argues that although Stravinsky and U2 are from separate musical worlds, each occupies a similar place of importance within that world, and has a parallel record of artistic achievement and influence. In addition, similarities in their musical thinking and their spiritual response to fame and success will be discussed. The parallels in their musical and spiritual development are fascinating, and as this paper will show, give the listener a new perspective on hearing the music of both U2 and Stravinsky. I. The Music: Textures, Timbres, and the Minimalist Connection Texture and Timbre in the Early Works Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) initially made his mark on the musical world with a series of ballets in the early 20th century. These works, written for Serge Diaghilev’s Ballets Russe, caused a stir in the Parisian musical scene, and Igor Stravinsky became an overnight musical phenomenon.1 The first of these ballets, The Firebird (1910), showed Stravinsky’s complete assimilation of the styles and techniques of contemporary composers such as Claude Debussy, and predecessors such as Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The work was completely modern, if not radical, and revealed that the young Stravinsky was part of an artistic movement that was breaking with the Germanic traditions of the 19th century. One of the prominent features of this new French Impressionistic and Russian Nationalistic music was the prominence of instrumental color, or timbre, in the identity of the music.

1 Música: Marcas Sonoras Juvenis Nadja Vladi Cardoso
Música: Marcas Sonoras Juvenis1 Nadja Vladi Cardoso Gumes2 Faculdade de Comunicação da Universidade Federal da Bahia RESUMO Este trabalho identifica as culturas juvenis representadas no Folhateen, suplemento jovem do jornal Folha de São Paulo, revelando como as identidades se configuram nos textos de um caderno juvenil do jornal de maior circulação do país, através dos gostos musicais. Os resultados foram alcançados com a utilização das noções de estilos de vida e cultura do consumo, instrumentos importantes para entender a rede que conecta música, meios de comunicação e juventudes. A fundamentação teórica na análise dos suplementos teve como pilar os Estudos Culturais, uma perspectiva que permitiu entender o processo comunicativo entre Folhateen, culturas juvenis e leitores. Palavras-chave: Culturas juvenis; identidades; meios de comunicação; estilos de vida; cultura do consumo A música é um elemento que desenvolve um papel central nas culturas juvenis e na formação das novas identidades. Nos anos 50, no período pós-guerra, quando a cultura juvenil tornou-se assunto preferencial nos meios de comunicação massivos, a música apresentou-se como um definidor de padrões de gostos e como um aglutinador de jovens e do seu estilo de vida. Simon Frith (1996) em seu livro Performing Rites – On the Value of Popular Music argumenta que a música é um processo social que articula e oferece uma experiência coletiva de identidade. “A música constrói nosso senso de identidade através das experiências que ela oferece do corpo, tempo, sociabilidade, experiências que nos permitem colocar nós mesmos em narrativas culturais imaginativas”.3 (FRITH, 1996, p.275). A experiência coletiva e o senso de identidade gerados pela música, que fala Frith, têm como mais contundente canal de divulgação os meios de comunicação.

Joshua Tree”--U2 (1987) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Stephen Catanzarite (Guest Post)*
“The Joshua Tree”--U2 (1987) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Stephen Catanzarite (guest post)* Original album cover Original label The band Across four studio albums, beginning with their 1980 debut, “Boy,” the Irish rock band U2 created a signature sound and built an adoring international fan base, delivering spiritual (and increasingly political) songs and live performances brimming with the irrational exuberance of youth. But it was their fifth studio album, 1987’s “The Joshua Tree,” that cemented the band’s iconic status. The astonishing success of “The Joshua Tree” may, in retrospect, seem to have been inevitable. A critically-acclaimed work that has sold more than 25 million copies, produced two chart-topping singles, and inspired not one but two of the highest-grossing concert tours ever, it’s become ingrained in the popular imagination--particularly in America, the country whose myths, legends, and ideals inspired its creation. Yet, at the time of its release, “The Joshua Tree” bloomed in stark contrast to the pop music landscape that surrounded it. In an era when popular culture gleefully celebrated unabashed materialism and professed a credo of “greed is good,” here was an album that seemed to herald asceticism as ideal. Dutch photographer Anton Corbijn’s austere cover photos present the band’s members (singer Bono, guitarist the Edge, bassist Adam Clayton, and drummer Larry Mullen Jr.), as four modern-day sons of the Desert Fathers, casting wary eyes upon the Day-Glo fashions, big hair silliness, and conspicuous consumption that epitomized the times. Taking its title from the hardy desert plant native to the more arid portions of the American southwest (which was itself named by early Mormon missionaries who saw in it the Old Testament image of Joshua raising his hands to the sky in prayer), “The Joshua Tree” represented all of the things most of U2’s contemporaries renounced: earnestness, austerity, and introspection.

The Shadow Man Cometh: Flannery O'connor's Influence on U2's
9/11/2020 The Shadow Man Cometh: Flannery O’Connor’s Influence on U2’s The Joshua Tree @U2 Home Page - U2 News, Lyrics, Tour Dates & more https://www.atu2.com SOUNDBYTE: "I don't believe in wishful thinking. You know, 'Imagine,' that John Lennon song, it's my least favorite of his songs. And he's the man for me, but it's like I don't believe that imagining is enough." — Bono THE SHADOW MAN COMETH: FLANNERY O’CONNOR’S INFLUENCE ON U2’S THE JOSHUA TREE @U2 September 12, 2017by Scott Calhoun Oh, Shadow Man … you’ve haunted me all summer long since I saw you there on the stage and screen on The Joshua Tree Tour 2017. Bono created you this year to help him perform “Exit.” You certainly rose to the occasion, Shadow Man, joining the ranks of MacPhisto, Mirror Ball Man and The Fly. Geoff Wilson was so impressed by how you helped U2 deliver the song that he’s saying “‘Exit’ Is The New ‘Bullet.’” You were the solution to a performance problem. As Bono told Andy Greene of Rolling Stone, he was looking for a way to not hurt himself: I had a lot of self-harm over the years playing that song. I was very glad not to play it for many years. I broke my shoulder. I got into some very dark places on the stage. I'd rather not step back into that song, but I found a way by thinking of where it came from and going back to the books I was reading at the time.

Music Review: U2, the Joshua Tree and Two Contrary States of Faith “The Joshua Tree Thirtieth Anniversary Tour”, Twickenham Stadium, GB: Sunday, 9 July 2017
Vaughan S. Roberts Music Review: U2, The Joshua Tree and Two Contrary States of Faith “The Joshua Tree Thirtieth Anniversary Tour”, Twickenham Stadium, GB: Sunday, 9 July 2017 We cross dirt roads and highways that mark the will of some one and then others, who said I need to see what’s on the other side. I know there’s something better down the road. We need to find a place where we are safe. We walk into that which we cannot yet see. Elizabeth Alexander, “Praise Song for the Day” So the hands that build Can also pull down The hands of love U2, “Exit” Fig. 1 “Praise Song for the Day” on screen, Twickenham, 9 July 2017. www.jrfm.eu 2018, 4/1, 111–116 Review: The Joshua Tree | 111 DOI: 10.25364/05.4:2018.1.9 BREAKING THROUGH The Joshua Tree (1987) is a record of U2’s discovery of America and, in a real sense, the Thirtieth Anniversary Tour was a road trip from the 1980s rerun three decades later. It began in Vancouver on 12 May 2017 and concluded in Sao Paolo on 25 October 2017. The centrepiece of each show featured the band playing The Joshua Tree (1987), frequently described as U2’s “breakthrough” album, in order and in its entirety. The concerts most often began with four songs released before The Joshua Tree: “Sunday Bloody Sunday”, “New Year’s Day”, “Bad” and “Pride”. These were followed by the eleven tracks of The Joshua Tree1 and two encores (or one extended encore) including popular songs from the band’s more recent work and, as the tour progressed, some tracks from their next album, Songs of Experi- ence (2017).
