Blair Chooses U2 Classic As Favourite Song Message Board and Comments

This song is not about the troubles in Northern Ireland. This song is about Africa. MPH

The song is about tearing down Peace Walls in N. Ireland. The naming of streets separates the two factions (protestant vs catholic or british vs irish, depends on who you ask, so to say where the streets have no name actually means that there is no separation, no fighting. It is not indicative of Blair being depressed.

wooo yeah he on dem danggone drugs! because you know. this stuff is so much more important than possible electronic voter fraud. We know what misdirection is. Iraq being a prime example of. Hey they couldn't catch Osama but everyone knows where Saddam slept. Powderpuff Public Enemy #365 was easily located in Baghdad and easily handled. If I ask you to do a task, and you demonstrate your ability to tie your shoes, do you think that merits some kind of reward? I don't. Yes I know that having your shoes tied is of utmost importantance to national security.

Reader11722, you need to get off those drugs now and get back to reality. I am not a Republican or even conservative, but I know that you are way off base and delusional. Just think what a mess we would be in if Gore had actually won....wow.

Blair's favorite song, this is on Drudge? The elections are tomorrow. Does anyone think this year will be different? They already stole 2 presidential elections (wide scale fraud). You really think they cannot steal House elections (small scale fraud). This is the same group that managed to legalize warrantless wiretaps, suspend habeas corpus, ban books like "America Deceived" from Amazon, detain demonstrators and start 2 illegal wars based on lies. The Republicans will probably lose a few seats to make it look good but maintain a majority. Then they'll invade Iran on behalf of Israel. Vote against Blair (whenever he's up for re-election) and Vote Them ALL OUT tomorrow. Support indy media.

I thought it was 21st Century Schizoid Man from King Crimson.

That's a great song, but I think this little blurb is way out of context, and since it has made it on the drudge report i feel the need to clarify. I was actually listening to this interview. It was for a contest in which a person gets a celebrity to call in and that person wins 10k and the celebrity wins 10k for the charity of their choice. The PM called in on behalf of a man who wanted to go to the transplant Olympics. At the end of the interview, Christian said they are doing an 80's thing and they wondered if he had any particular song he like from the 80's... and then said something to the tune of 'be careful what you pick because the newspapers are going to read way too much into this', the PM said, how about u2, something off the Joshua Tree. Christian asked if there was any particular song and Mr. Blair said Where the streets have no names without much hesitation - but he never said anything about it being his favorite song of all times. Funny how right Christian was. You can listen to the whole thing at www.virginradio.co.uk - Justin

The best is Ireland's THEM !

Great band, but my least favorite song. How about a song like Gloria or Bad. Actually my favorite band, but I dislike the song.

I like this song a lot,myself.It caused a little stir in my hometown,in 1987,(a noted music town-Jacksonville,Fl.USA)when the dj's @ rock105 fm kept calling the album a "psuedo" christian rock album.When even the "pros" can't peg your music,that's gooooood.As for Mr.Blair,we great minds think alike.

Tony Blair has good judgement. "Where the Streets Have No Name" is one of my favorites, too. Another example of Bono's Irish bard sensitivity and brilliance...
