Above Us Only Sky: On Camus, U2, Lennon, Rock, and Rilke

I don't believe I ever linked this, but I just found the 18-month-old recommendation of it from a reader who drily commented, "not your typical lightweight 'U2 offer spiritual show!' article." So here's an allusion-packed, long, dense piece called Above Us Only Sky: On Camus, U2, Lennon, Rock, and Rilke. Some statements I'd question and a U2 inaccuracy or two... but also some connections that bear thinking about. (Also, it made me nod by using the French word engagé about U2, a perfect adjective for them and one for which I've never found a good translation.)
