I like this song a lot,myself.It caused a little stir in my hometown,in 1987,(a
noted music town-Jacksonville,Fl.USA)when the dj's @ rock105 fm kept calling
the album a "psuedo" christian rock album.When even the "pros" can't peg your
music,that's gooooood.As for Mr.Blair,we great minds think alike.

Tony Blair has good judgement. "Where the Streets Have No Name" is one of my
favorites, too. Another example of Bono's Irish bard sensitivity and
brilliance...
