    True, but how many people actually KNOW that...?
    I bet most of the people there won't and think it's great to sing it...

    + "One, but not the same"...
    I think, eventhough it's about breaking up, would fit perfectly !

    Think about it :
    - America has a lot of different religions, 'colours', nationalities and Obama wants to combine them to one America so that slogan is quite obviously perfect

    - IF it's Bono (and maybe the rest of the band) AND Mary J Blige
    then that's... Black and White => Again a link for saying that the 'blacks', like Obama is himself, and the 'whites' can make it a better America

    So to be honoust, i think this would be perfect
  3. I wonder what taxidriver Larry will think of this....playing One with misses Blige in Washington for Obama.
  4. Was Automatic Baby at Clinton's first inauguration? I can't seem to remember.


  5. I just read that part in U2 By U2 and I can tell you that you're right

    About One being a break-up song: True, but there are still people who think WOWY is a love song, while 'I can't live with or without you' doesn't sound like love to me. No-one cares about the real meaning of those songs unfortunately.
  6. Will it be shown in any TV channel?


  7. from U2.com:

    Songs are subjective though...but we're in the wrong topic for that discussion.


  10. Probably not live, since it's a pay-channel here in the US. Give it a couple hours and it'll be on youtube though, or possibly a recap on HBO's website?

    Allright, thanks..I can wait a few days.


  12. Really? Wow. That's patience. I'm pissed that it's only going to be on HBO and will scour youtube an hour after it's been aired. (or interference )
