I'm listening to U2's "All That You Can't Leave Behind" and this lyric

[Kid_A]

from the song "Peace On Earth" caught my attention.

"They're reading names out
Over the radio
All the folks the rest of us
Won't get to know

Sean and Julia
Gareth, Ann, and Breda
Their lives are bigger than
Any big idea"

This album came out 4 years ago, but that line could have been written last week...

[skooooo]

1. huh? I don't get it.

:shrug:

[Kid_A]

2. It's a song about the pointlessness of war, and since we hit 1,000 deaths

in Iraq recently, that line became more relevant all of a sudden.

Get it?

[mzmolly]

3. I belive it's about deaths surrounding war?

:shrug:

[Beer Snob-50]

4. "Their lives are bigger than any big idea"

that line tells it all. but this is not true to the bush administration.
