If you know me - you know I am a big fan of the band U2. I have been listening to them since 1985 or so. A friend of mine posted this video with Bono and Eugene Peterson who translated the Bible called The Message. This is a link to a short movie about their meeting.
In the movie, Bono says something like this: The psalmist is brutally honest... why isn't church music more like that? I am talking dishonesty that I find in Christian art and I think it is a shame. Because these are people who are valuable to God in a good way. I would love it if this conversation would inspire people who are writing these beautiful voices and beautiful Gospel song to write songs about their bad marriage. Write a song about how they are pissed off at the government because that's what God wants from you, the truth.
