I see rabid right-wingers at say a U2 concert singing happily along to "one", totally oblivious to the fact that it's a song about a gay son wanting the acceptance of his homophobic father.
VH1 aired an intereview with U2 this afternoon. In that interview, the members of the band said that this story was a myth. In fact, they said, the song "one" is about a period of time during which the band considered breaking up. It's essentially Bono's plea to Edge and the others not to throw in the towel but to keep the band going.
