Vatican newspaper pays tribute to Bono, U2

A week after reviewing books devoted to the Beatles and Rolling Stones, Gaetano Vallini has examined the bibilical themes found in the lyrics of the Irish rock band U2, whose principal vocalist and lyricist is Bono. In his article, which appears the January 4-5 edition of L’Osservatore Romano, (English translation) Vallini reviews Andrea Morandi’s new book U2: The Name of Love and discusses references to the Psalms, Habbakuk, the Magnificat, and other biblical passages in Bono’s works.
