After hearing the author on a Catholic radio show on KDKA radio in Pittsburgh, I got this book and had read & reread
it 3 times in that week! Much of U2's music was well known to me but I found much more meaning to the lyrics. This book encouraged me to delve into some of the lesser known tunes. Amazing to realize how the band created so many masterpieces. Thanks to Greg Garrett for re-introducing me to the wonders of U2's lyrics & music. My spouse claims that I have become obsessed with them.
