Guys, a roto-tom is a type of drum. So all it is is a drum fill on a roto-tom. :) I'm still curious when and where Bono said "Life isn't worth living." Any word?
@downfromabove The reference to Bono is about the lyric dealing with God not being short on cash. U2 played "Bullet in the Blue Sky" on "Rattle and Hum" and Bono says "My God is not short on cash." at the end. This is a different version than on the Joshua Tree. The following lyrics are added:

So I'm back in my hotel room
With John Coltrane and A Love Supreme
In the next room I hear some woman scream out
That her lover's turning off, turning on the television
And I can't tell the difference between ABC News,...
So I'm back in my hotel room
With John Coltrane and A Love Supreme
In the next room I hear some woman scream out
That her lover's turning off, turning on the television
And I can't tell the difference between ABC News, Hill Street Blues
And a preacher on the old time gospel hour
Stealing money from the sick and the old
Well the God I believe in isn't short of cash, mister!
I feel a long way from the hills of San Salvador
Where the sky is ripped open
And the rain pours through a gaping wound
Pelting the women and children
Pelting the women and children
Who run - who run into the arms of America
@downfromabove In reference to Micahael09: I'm really glad that you chimed in regarding the Bono reference. I just went over to my Spotify account (where I have pegged U2 as a favorite band of mine), and listened to the song in reference ------ the version from Rattle and Hum. But I still don't see why Jon Foreman would have thought he needed to have corrected Bono with the line, 'Life is still worth living'

I am still wondering why he told Bono that 'Life is still worth living'. It seems to me that the ONLY reason that he would have needed to say this to him would have ONLY been after Bono making a statement either tantamount or indicative that he was planning on ending his own life prematurely. Which by any other name would mean suicide.
So does Bono ever give this type of notion to his fans in any of his songs on any of the albums by U2?
Please keep in mind, I am a Christian. I am a huge fan of Switchfoot. However I also like to listen to many secular bands and artists as well.
