"Bono, Larry, Adam and The Edge lived among us. On rare occasions, we caught a glimpse of them. Maybe a shadow, an outline. But wherever they walked, U2 left a big impression. We’ll tell our grandkids about these four gentle giants.
One of the stranger, more elliptical verses in the Bible comes in Genesis 6:4: “There were giants in the earth in those days.” Somehow I don’t think that refers to dinosaurs. But what does it mean? People were bigger then? They walked with more presence? Carried themselves differently? I never understood that verse until I saw U2 in 3-D.
The sheer magnitude of what they have accomplished overwhelmes me. How can four rather modest Irish gents galvanize an audience with such authority? How did four rich, spoiled rock stars remain grounded enough to stick together, to create something much larger than themselves? How can God raise up such unlikely prophets? Their career and back catalogue is a miracle we’ve all been privileged to witness."
We're blessed
