It starts with the words

This post is from some time ago, but it was drawn to my attention on Twitter today: a conversation between Aaron Belz and the brilliant musician, lyricist, and satirist Steve Taylor (who has recently issued a new album, Goliath [here's a review], which I recommend.) Their wide-ranging and casual discussion about the making of art touches a few times on U2's compositional methods, which might make it of interest to readers of this blog.
