Hmmm, I personally don't know what the fuss is about? They're going to fight over anything(protocol in this case) as they celebrate a representative of peace and freedom. Is somebody missing the point of her visit? Perhaps when the folks involved her can disagree and still support each others right to a different opinion her, Aung, message will have been heard. This is kind of like celebrating vegetarianism with a big ol' rare steak dinner. Phunny, eh?
catholicabuseusrvivorsni.com---its not the first time they refused,---in the past they refused to speak out on the child rape and torture of irish catholic children at the hands of paedophile rome in ireland. hypocrites?
Well said Seanomelb !!
You know, I do get a bit tired of Bono and Bob, but they must enjoy that charity schtick, so let 'em be. However, who gives a sh!t what O'Connor has to say OR sing! She is infamous for three things - shaving her head, tearing up the Dope's pix on SNL and hating everything. I can't even name a song she's written or sung. She's gone over the top and not just now, but for a good decade or so. Is there a doctor in the house to help this poor creature? Maybe just hopitalization...FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE might be the answer. I'd prefer to have a woman's point of view included, like Enya, both in speak and music. Sla'inte!
The Bono fellow has had his picture taken with just about every public figure throughout the world. Isn't it time he stopped acting in a childish manner and grew up. His immaturity is embarrassing. OK, OK so he copies Geldof with the charity thing. ENOUGH. AND, why in God's name should Sinead O'Connor speak at the Aung Suu Kyi rally. Will these people ever get enough publicity.?
Give both the pratts hell Sinead.
Dunn: Good lyrics. Maybe one of the pompous preachers Bozo and Bob could use them in what passes for a "song".
I just felt a cold shiver going right down my spine as I thought about being stuck in a lift with O'Connor, Geldof, Bono and O'Gorman. It's going to take me a few hours to get back to normal!!
Sir Bob bends the knee to the killer bee That Dutchman likes those orange trees Paul and Bono sing the pipes of peace Then Kiss the ass of the commandeering chiefs Dunner Australia
Boy, I'm glad to know what Sinéad thinks. I heard Bozo the Clown say today that she is a nutcase. Who cares what she thinks of anybody?
Why would either Geldof or Bono want that nutcase on he stage?
Certainly I would trust Sinead long before the other two. Sinead has been very up-front throughout her career. I would think Aung Suu Kyi's would support Sinead's free speech.
I can't believe all those self-loathing "Irish" in this forum. Bono is by far the most successful export in the history of the Irish Republic, and yes, he also does a lot of good in the world, standing up for the downtrodden all over the planet. U2 and Bono are one of the very few highlights Eire has to offer these days. You should be proud of them! What is it with you people? Are you envious of Bono's fame? His wealth? His talent? Plus, this band stills rocks, they are still absolutely awesome! They are hot, you are not! Get over it.
Bono - Paul Hewson - and Bob Geldof are both opportunists, using Aung Suu Kyi's award to promote themselves. Geldof doesn't even live in Ireland, Bono rarely lives in Ireland and refuses to pay Irish taxes. Hewson and Geldof brought British actress Vanessa Redgrave and her daughter as well as British actor Roger Moore among others to be there. Shame on Hewson and Geldof for such ill treatment of O'Connor who's far more real and Irish than they'll ever be.
We are heartily sick of Bono ,OConnor and Geldof and have no interest in these publicity seeking gobshites ,and its time the people of Ireland told them !
