A Kinder Gentler Half Time Show

Last January I had a group of adult youth workers at my house watching the SuperBowl. During half time a couple was leaving so I walked them to the door and got into a conversation. I did not see the halftime episode. When I arrived back in the room where the game was on no one even mentioned the Janet Jackson thing. I did not even know about the wardrobe malfunction until the next day when I heard about it on the news. I'm still amazed that they sat around and watched that and by the time I got back they had completely blown it off. Those must have been some good chicken wings.

With that said tonight's Orange Bowl halftime show should whole new experience. U2 is debuying their new video to the song All Because of You. The interesting thing about this song is the mystery as to who it written in to. Some say God. I've read that in special collectors addition of the cd it was made clear that the I AM is a reference to God's name for Himself given to Moses in Genesis 3. Others say it is a tribute to The Who. Maybe the video will clear up the mystery. The good news is the debate tomorrow morning will have nothing to do with Janet Jackson's anatomy.

All Because of You by U2
I was born a child of grace
Nothing else about the place
Everything was ugly but your beautiful face
And it left me no illusion

I saw you in the curve of the moon
In the shadow cast across my room
You heard me in my tune
When I just heard confusion

All because of you
All because of you
All because of you
I am...I am

I like the sound of my own voice
I didn't give anyone else a choice
An intellectual tortoise
Racing with your bullet train

Some people get squashed crossing the tracks
Some people got high rises on their backs
I'm not broke but you can see the cracks
You can make me perfect again

All because of you
All because of you
All because of you

I am I am I'm alive
I'm being born
I just arrived, I'm at the door
Of the place I started out from And I want back inside
All because of you
All because of you All because of you
I am
