  1. Let's not forget that she HAS been released a few times before, but again and again the regime has found "new reasons" for new punishments.

    So I still fear for her.
  3. Terrible to have to resort to those things just to get 4 men play a song.

    Anyway, as said above, they will find another reason to lock her up. One political word out of her mouth for example. Earlier a release was canceled because of 'disobeying' her house arrest when a docter dropped by her house.


  4. Haha, you get a acrobat ( Adriaan ) and I will kill a fly.
  5. Is Aung being released - seriously?!?!?! That's great news, you brought a smile to my face
  6. November 13th, it seems, just after the elections in Birma.
    So U2 can stop playing Walk On finally

    did Bono mention something about it at tonights concert?
  7. did you know?
    According to the booklet of 'Walk On', U2 says that the song is dedicated to Aung San Suu Kyi, in some parts of the lyrics U2 mentions the struggle of this woman to free her country.

    I didnt know that . Lets hope they wont dedicate Walk On to someone else now.

    They'll hopefully drop it for the North American leg next year. No sense in playing it, really- it doesn't get very great reception, they have bigger hits/more ideas, and the political excuse won't fit anymore. Sub it for The Fly or EBTTRT earlier in the setlist, please.

  9. Agree about the ditching part, but I think you're wrong on the reception. People (~normal fanbase, not die hard fans) love it.

    Does anyone know of any other times he has done this apart from 360? And was the song originally written for her?
