Express-Times package

Two articles as part of a weekend "Christianity and U2" package in preparation for U2's Philadelphia dates in which I'm rather loosely quoted (though I am mortified that the author, who contacted our publisher about speaking to both of us, neglected to mention Raewynne as co-editor of Get Up Off Your Knees), as is Steve Stockman. This one, Higher Notes Higher Calling, is a well-put-together treatment of the history of U2 with some comments on God in their work; this one claims to name the band's Most Spiritual Songs, a list I'd have lots of argument with (but they didn't ask me for anything but comments on a couple of them). Great job by the writer assembling band quotes and information on the material, though. FYI, a similar U2 Christian themes package will be coming out in another press location next month.
