Songs of Innocence and Experience -- A Review of Week 1

 AFTER months of speculation and anticipation, U2 kicked off their Innocence + Experience tour in Vancouver last week. Bono was, by all account?, in good form, despite some lingering physical stiffness thanks to the devastating bicycle accident he suffered in New York last November.

u2, Stephen Hawking, & the Meaning of Life


-
When we see the Earth from space we see ourselves as a whole. We see the unity, but not the divisions. One planet, one human race. We are here together and we need to live together with tolerance and respect.

Our only boundaries are the way we see ourselves, the only borders the way we see each other. We must become global citizens. Our voices are important. We give our elected officials their power, but we can take it away.

We at all time travelers, traveling together into the future. But let us make that future a place we want to visit.

Be brave.
Be determined.
Overcome the odds.
It can be done.
