Bono: “An Israeli Dream, And Also A Palestinian Dream”

He may have been singing slightly off-key, but U2 frontman Bono - who played at the Obama inauguration celebrations yesterday - got the politics absolutely right. In the middle of “Pride,” U2’s epic tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, whose memory is being honored across the US today, Bono, clearly loving the moment, told the crowd: “Not just an American dream - also an Irish dream, a European dream, African dream, Israeli dream, and also a Palestinian dream.” Brian Eno, who produced the U2 album “The Joshua Tree,” should take note. He - and you - can watch the clip of U2 here.
