Consider the song “All Because of You” from U2’s 2004album How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. “I’m alive/ I’mbeing born/ I just arrived, I’m at the door/ Of the place that Istarted out from/ And I want back inside.” at’s a confusing,really meaningless message.One of U2’s most popular songs even proclaims that theyhaven’t found what they are looking for. “You broke thebonds/ You loosed the chains/ You carried the cross/ And myshame/ You know I believe it/ But I still haven’t found/ WhatI’m looking for” (“I Still Haven’t Found What I’m LookingFor”).is is a strange message for an alleged Christian rock bandto broadcast to a needy world! ey sing about Christ and thecross and then state that they haven’t found what they arelooking for.A Social Gospele group is active in political causes, but they are liberal,humanistic ones. For example, in 1992 they played a benefitconcert for the environmentalist/pacifist group Greenpeaceand joined Greenpeace in protesting against a nuclear powerplant. One of their hits, “Pride,” is a tribute to the civil rightsleader Martin Luther King; and in 1994, U2 received theMartin Luther King Freedom Award.
