"It takes an unusual consciousness to garner comfort from apocalyptic imagery..."

This post from a general blog about which I know nothing (I've only very briefly skimmed anything but the post I just linked) reflects on a couple of songs about reactions in the face of mortality, "Closer To The Light" by Bruce Cockburn, and "One Tree Hill" by U2. I love the story about the elderly man in the writer's church around the time Joshua Tree was released.
