Why Slane became such a significant concert setting
Slane’s landscape made it a distinctive place for a concert. Irish beginnings, international bookings and returning artists gave it a musical identity.

About This Track
'Mofo' by U2 is a rock track from the album 'Pop', released in 1997. The lyrics seek salvation while sounding suspicious of empty belief, with drug references, religious imagery, and a take on rock and roll as cluttered spectacle. Amid the prowling, restless search for a “God-shaped hole”, there is also a violent streak of slang and provocation, aimed at both devotion and the kind of street-culture bravado that performs holiness as style. The voice turns prayer into mockery and ends up back at the same craving, pressed up against a blunt, contemporary cynicism.
"Mofo" is a track by U2, from the album Pop, released 3rd March 1997. The track is 5:49 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below.
