    Quite a critical article/interview with the real Miss Sarajevo about U2. Maybe the truth is quite ugly.

    [..]Inela Nogić became world famous when she was crowned Miss Sarajevo in wartime - then she watched U2 take the credit. A quarter of a century after the war, she looks back on the day that would change her life.

    "Here she comes ...", Inela Nogić sings with mocking green eyes. Heads turn around. Here she comes, to take her crown. Terrible. The lyrics are certainly not about our war, and the music is so dull. ”Inela Nogić spoke of Miss Sarajevo, the U2 hit, released on November 20, 1995. Exactly one day before the Presidents of Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia reached the peace agreement ditches that ended the Bosnian War.
  7. Had to double-check the date of Pavarotti's birthday.
  8. There was an article in a Dutch news paper today where the beauty contest winner shames U2 for earning so much money on this song and the Sarajevo concert. Really one side of the story.
