An excerpt from my post today on Communitas:

A number of years ago–longer ago than I (or they) probably care to admit–U2 hit the airwaves with a breakout hit, “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.” Evangelicals who had tentatively embraced the Irish band for their Christian-themed songs were aghast at the lyrics, penned by lead singer Bono.

Just in case anyone has unexplainable gaps in their knowledge of pop culture, here are the lyrics that raised such a ruckus:

I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
But yes, I’m still runnin’

You broke the bonds and You loosed the chains
Carried the cross of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believe it
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
