just a thought

Hey wireland.
Should be doing my final year project but never mind.
My boyfriend and I were talking about U2 the other day when his
mum came in and said she didn't like them because they gave
loads of their money to the IRA. I know this is a controversial thing
but why on earth do people think that just because they're an Irish
rock group they automatically support the IRA?
It really annoyed me. I want to take her the R&H video and let her
hear his revolution speech in SBS. I mean Please? Sunday
Bloody Sunday? They're hardly out to condone violence are they?
Sorry, but it did really annoy me.
Oh, and ">My English book has also a picture of U2 when it
>refers to the BRITISH CULTURE (England)!!!!!" Since when was
_British_ culture=England??? Excuse me but just to remind you
that there's a bit of the country up north called Scotland). And U2
are Irish because they're hearts are there. Just as my heart will be
in Scotland and I will be Scottish until the day I die no matter
where I may go or what my anscestry is.
Anyway, that was just a few thoughts. And I never realised how
respected U2 are by other musicians until recently. It's so cool
when other bands list U2 as their influences and really compliment
their talents.
And I never got to see Legends so if anyone has a tape of it and
would be prepared to send me a copy I would be eternally grateful.
I think that's all.
