Well “Mysterious Ways” is a great song and one of my favorites too. I have good reason to identify with it considering the amount of synchronicity and other “mysterious ways” I have experienced. In what way was it “disappointing” to learn that Bono identifies as Christian?

Another famous pagan- Sully Erna, lead singer of the band Godsmack, is (or was) a Wiccan. Also- though I’ve never seen or heard confirmation anywhere- Mudvayne’s lyrics, mostly written by lead singer Chad Gray, seem to be full of thinly veiled references to Thelema.

Emerson Avenger-You’re right, but “Achtung Baby” was my first exposure to U2, and I heard it-over and over again-before I read the publicity. It was dissappointing, and changed the way I viewed Bono and the band, but I still love that album, especially “Mysterious Ways”.

I thought that Bono’s claim to be a Christian was very well publicized. “If you want to kiss the sky, better learn how to kneelOn your knees, boy!”

After “Achtung Baby”, I thought for a while Bono was a pagan. Guess I was wrong, but I still consider “Mysterious Ways” one of the best “pagan” songs I ever heard. Too bad most “real” pagan music seems to be quite formulaic.

From most accounts, festival music is stuck in a tribal drumming and folk-singing rut of sorts.
