"Matthew, Mark and Luke and John
all them prophets dead and gone
better keep your hands on that plow boy
hold on!"
"Gospel Plow"- Bob Dylan


" So I'm back in my hotel room with Johnnie Coltrane and the love supreme.
In the next room I hear some woman scream out.
her lover's turning off
turning on the television.
And I can't tell the difference between ABC news,
Hill Street Blues
and a preacher on the old time gospel hour
stealing money from the sick and the old.
Well the God I believe in isn't short of cash, mister!
I feel a long way from the hills of San Salvador
where the sky is ripped open and the rain pours through a gaping wound
pelting the women and children...
pelting the women and children...
who run ...
who run...
into the arms...
of America"
U2 - Bullet The Blue Sky (Rattle And Hum)


"in the Locust wind comes a Rattle and Hum
Jacob wrestled the angel
and the angel was overcome"
"bullet the Blue sky"- U2


"Well the God I believe in isn't short of cash, mister!"- BONO

Hey John,
I'm a huge Bob Dylan and U2 fan and I love it that you that you posted those quotes! I thought about writing my paper on Christianity from the time of Acts up to, and including, Bob Dylan and U2; however, it would have been either a novella or too broad in scope.

I thought you might be interested in this (if you haven't heard about it already). Some churches are incorporating U2's music into their services - they call it the U2charist:
