A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

Interesting tourbus reading material. Maybe he is more Catholic than he thinks.
Have they put out a new album since then?
Now that I’ve actually read the article, I see that that the date is wrong. It looks like it was written shortly after Joshua Tree came out, way earlier than 2005.
Here’s the correct date of the article (via the ProQuest database): Apr 27, 1987. Vol.129, Iss. 17; pg. 72.
