  1. She's been released and you people are talking about the setlist.

    I know we didn't have any impact on this but it feels like we helped her during 360, with our positive thoughts.
  2. +1 to Yogi, absolutely +1.

    Although I felt Walk On was a bit dull sometimes, I always supported it because of the idea behind the song and the reason why they're playing it. So happy she's free now, although we really have to wait and see how 'free' she is.

    It actually is "her song". It was written about her.


  6. And on this tour so is MLK and SBS is about Iran. I don't think it will be dropped. They can A. Just sing it as a tribute to her release or B. Make refer to whatever the hell they feel like.

    I think U2, and us behind them, to some (admittedly small) extent contributed to put some pressure on the Burma government.

    Sigh, unfortunately I think it'll turn out that way too.
    Why can't they stop playing mediocre songs like Walk On, Pride when they have so many better songs in their catalogue.
