Silent Servants...

... of the Used, Abused, and Utterly Screwed Up.

A Secular Franciscan looks at the world...
with a more jaundiced eye than ever...
and lots of ellipses for you to fill in the missing text...

There are a number of ways

of looking at the same thing...

U2’s Music and Mission–and My Kid’s First Rock Concert

From the comments:

"So they succeeded in doing what ELP and Pink Floyd tried to do in the 70s...

Extravagance! Okay for rock stars, but something we common people should try to do without. If people from wealthy nations would live less extravagantly, that would help toward solving many of the problems that Bono is concerned about. But instead of setting an example by embracing simplicity, he does the opposite.

Pete Seeger, Si Kahn, Holly Near and Bruce Cockburn have/had the right idea."
I like what I've read by Jim Wallis, and what I've read about him....
