"Moment" was played just one time — the band improvised the version on the album from thin air. "This kind of spirit blows through every now and then," Bono says. "It's a very strange feeling. We're waiting for God to walk into the room — and God, it turns out, is very unreliable. So you don't have the right to imagine you can make a great album. But what you can do is create the conditions where it might happen." From this article.

Congratulations! I just listened to my very first U2 song! Well, I listened to it the other day, but couldn't comment on it at that time. And, I'm sure I've heard U2 before, unawares, but this is the first one I've ever listened to that I knew was from them.
I like the way he thinks and speaks. I remember a post of yours from years ago that was something like "Bono the Theologist" in which he talked about grace vs. "what goes around comes around." I'll never forget it.
I was just able to (finally!) read this article. God can speak through Rolling Stone... Who knew??
