  Probing the lyrical canons of seminal artists including Cat Stevens, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, U2, Ozzy Osbourne, Pearl Jam, Madonna, and Kanye West, this title considers the ways - and reasons why - pop music's secular poets and prophets adopted religious phrases, motifs, and sacred texts.
