Bono's Palestinian dream Mon, 01/19/2009 - 11:10am U2 frontman Bono's "shout out" to Palestine, as The Nation calls it, at yesterday's concert at the Lincoln Memorial, is a little underwelming when you just read it: "Let freedom ring. On this spot where we're standing 46 years ago Dr. King had a dream. On Tuesday, that dream comes to pass," before launching into 'Pride (In The Name Of Love)', U2's tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "This is not just an American dream," he said, adding that it was "also an Irish dream, a European dream, an African dream... an Israeli dream... and also a Palestinian dream." Palestinians have dreams too. Is that really such a bold statement that it warrants the exceedingly dramatic pause that Bono gives it? Certainly not as gutsy as when Bjork shouted out Tibet while peforming in China. On the other hand, the president-elect does look extremely uncomfortable.

Jackson引言的压轴演出， 真的是我整场最爱的一段。 加上，Bono这好家伙又干了这麽一件漂亮事， 让我看完就杀到youtube找影片再三回味，最後忍不住就来U2板献上第一po。 （Youtube连结：http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=1p3o8NnvBa8） 当他讲到the Israeli dream时，我就有预感有大梗要出现了，果然... 那个intentional pause真的是太有趣了，再搭配镜头马上take到Obama的(无)表情， That's really the best moment of Obama's consecration. Bono's Palestinian dream喊出口，确实立刻引起一些讨论， 转录的文章是我觉得最赞的评论，包括文章底下所引起的留言讨论，很值得一读。 不过要小抱怨，作者觉得Bono比Bjork没guts，实在是太picky了一点 XD 最後再献上另一个连结，内有Bono现场超man照，帅气到不行，连林肯爷爷都说赞： http://blogs.thetimes.co.za/minor/2009/01/19/bono-and-the-palestinian-dream/ --
