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引言的壓軸演出， 真的是我整場最愛的一段。 加上，Bono這好傢伙又幹了這麼一件漂亮事， 讓我看完就殺到youtube找影片再三回味，最後忍不住就來U2板獻上第一po。 （Youtube連結：http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=1p3o8NnvBa8） 當他講到the Israeli dream時，我就有預感有大梗要出現了，果然... 那個intentional pause真的是太有趣了，再搭配鏡頭馬上take到Obama的(無)表情， That's really the best moment of Obama's consecration. Bono's Palestinian dream喊出口，確實立刻引起一些討論， 轉錄的文章是我覺得最讚的評論，包括文章底下所引起的留言討論，很值得一讀。 不過要小抱怨，作者覺得Bono比Bjork沒guts，實在是太picky了一點 XD 最後再獻上另一個連結，內有Bono現場超man照，帥氣到不行，連林肯爺爺都說讚： http://blogs.thetimes.co.za/minor/2009/01/19/bono-and-the-palestinian-dream/ --
