A new music video from U2’s new album (out shortly) is available from an Irish newspaper. I am a U2 fan, loved U2 3D and might, maybe get to see it again a week from tonite… but I am an old guy. I love the music of U2 because most of it is socially responsible and provocative in a positive way. This video is just that, provocative. It seems, after three viewings, that this video returns to the important U2 theme of anti war… another theme seems to be to urge the recognition of one’s own beauty, and I may have totally missed that. The point I wish to make is that, in my opinion, the most provocative things are the images in the video not the lyric (I found the lyrics and put them in a comment)… some readers of this blog will most likely find some of the images troubling from the standpoint of violence and/or they are sexualy suggestive (I wonder what the PhD who wrote the paper thinks -see previous post) … so consider yourself warned… now just “Get On Your Boots” and click HERE — OH! BE SURE TO GO FULL SCREEN AND TURN UP YOUR SPEAKERS!

over on LastBibleClass I put a thought or two about calling with the film “The Mission”… I accidentally posted it here, but now realize it fits, thus the link. click HERE to go see those thoughts.
