"Membership in the family of God is neither inconsequential or something to be casually ignored. The church is God's agenda for the world. Jesus said, "I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." The church is indestructable and will exist for eternity. It will outlive this universe, and so will your role in it."

There is no way that this blog known for superhero and Bono posts (is there a difference?) couldn't take note of this news.
The U2 Spider-Man Musical is coming...
Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark will include the story of the superhero's origins and will feature music and lyrics by U2 members Bono and The Edge.
It will be directed by Julie Taymor, the creative force behind Disney's long-running Lion King.
The musical will open in February 2010 at the Hilton Theatre with preview performances beginning in January.
The show is reportedly the most expensive Broadway production ever, costing $40m (£27.6m).
The Hilton Theatre as it is the only venue big enough to allow the superhero room to spin his way around the sprawling skyscraper sets.
Details on casting, or which villains will appear, have yet to be announced.

I have to admit, I was puzzled too. I expected a flood of (funny) comments.
In fact, I thought that if any post were going to bring Bird back from the vortex that David Copperfield put him into it would be that one. :gmagicbird:

I'm laughing that (with all the U2 fans here) no one has responded to this post. Are we all just scratching our heads trying to picture this on stage?
I will say that they could probably just pipe some U2 into the Spider-Man ride at Islands of Adventure in Florida and save a lot of money.
