@RevTrev10 @U2 Hello Trevor I hope you and your family are well, especially your Dad Harry. I recently saw a programme on TV4 from a few years ago, I did not know you played the organ, so weak. All the best.

If the fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom, then what is its end? Cut through the abundant nonsense, empty platitudes, and conventional musings of the world and get straight to the heart of what it means to be wise.

U2’s most Unique Song of all time plus Biblical Allusions. Bono: “I wrote this song for a friend of mine who fell in love with a very dangerous drug. That drug is called heroin. This song is called Bad.”

U2 in 2026 As the new year dawns, 2026 will mark an extraordinary milestone: U2's 50th anniversary as the longest-running band in world history with the same original lineup—Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr., together for half a century since 1976. A new U2 album also dawns, U2's first in almost a decade, due in 2026. Can U2 defy gravity after all this time? Can U2 rise up on wings like eagles? Can U2 be born again? Like a Phoenix rising from a holy tree? From “New Year's Day” to The Joshua Tree to their ongoing quest for renewal and grace, biblical allusions abound. Follow Bono’s Bible for more.

On this day in 1977 (January 17): Gary Gilmore became the first person executed in the U.S. after the death penalty's reinstatement, dying by firing squad in Utah at age 36. Convicted of two murders, he waived appeals and demanded his sentence be carried out—his last words: “Let's do it.” U2’s “Exit” from The Joshua Tree (1987) was inspired by Gilmore’s story. Bono drew from Norman Mailer’s novel The Executioner's Song (and Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood) to delve into a killer’s psyche twisted by religious fanaticism and violence. The song’s original working title: “Executioner's Song.” Bono aimed to explore the mind of a killer gripped by religious fanaticism, psychosis, and twisted faith—portraying a man who believes in “healing hands of love” yet descends into violence. The intense, dark track remains one of U2’s most haunting. It later drew controversy when cited in the 1989 murder trial of Robert John Bardo (for actress Rebecca Schaeffer’s killing), though U2 had no responsibility and were troubled by the link—rarely performing it live for years. 🎥 U2’s “Exit” with Biblical Allusions

On this day — April 15, 2001 Twenty-five years ago today, Joey Ramone passed away at age 49 after a seven-year battle with lymphoma. Born Jeffrey Ross Hyman to a Jewish family in Queens, he was the unmistakable voice of The Ramones. In his final days, Bono called him. Though Joey was very weak, he perked up hearing from his friend. Bono later reflected on Joey’s indomitable spirit in a heartfelt eulogy. On April 15 at New York Presbyterian Hospital, as family gathered, Joey’s brother Mickey played U2’s “In a Little While” from All That You Can’t Leave Behind. Joey slipped into unconsciousness while listening to the song — and it became the last music he ever heard. Bono has often shared how Joey transformed what began as a song about a hangover into something almost spiritual. U2 paid tribute onstage that night, and later honored him with “The Miracle (of Joey Ramone).” Joey wasn’t a Christian — he came from a Jewish background and wasn’t religious, though he believed in God. Yet somehow a bridge was formed, connecting punk rock rebellion and the kind of grace / homecoming found in a U2 song. 🎥 Biblical Allusions in U2’s “In A Little While”

“Stay” has some of U2’s biggest lyrics. No wonder Bono has declared it one of his favorite U2 songs. Are you a fan too?
