U2 360 concert

Yep. I took my Mrs to the U2 concert in ANZ Stadium on Tuesday Dec 14 evening.


Now I can't hear a thing! I guess it was in a stadium so the audio engineers could not help using the volume knob a bit.

The spacey-insecty stage with the flashy lighting was "awesome" at first but after a while got a little boring.

We sat behind 4 young people (ie in their early 20s) and in front of 4 older people (the 60+). So we (late 40s) fit in pretty well.

I liked the messages on freedom and human rights, but felt my rights were violated by the young people who kept standing up dancing, obscuring our ... $300 view!

We were disappointed by the sound last time with Leonard Cohen at the Acer Arena and now with U2 at the ANZ Stadium. Why can't Sydney build a decent concert venue?

Leaks

In my profession, the word "leaks" brings up an image of a male standing at the urinals with a long queue behind him waiting - ala prostate issue; or a grandma with a prolapse of some sort. And "wiki"? Apparently it means "quick" in Hawaiian. So "wiki-leaks" is an odd term.

Freedom of information is good, but some information should not be free for everyone. We are in a war of some kind right now. If you say you don't want to be involved, then move elsewhere "neutral"! May I suggest Greenland or some other waste lands that no countries would ever want to associate with.

I don't get the kind of vandalism these leaking wiki mob represent. You eat western food, you poo the western way, you get western health care and education (OK, you pay tax the western way too - I hear you) - and freedom. But why use your freedom - which is only available in the western world - to back-stab the same system that provides all these good stuffs for you?

Why don't you go to the Taliban; the Chinese and (yeah!) North Korean terrritories and ... leak their wiki back to the world?

I came from Communist Vietnam and I know it all too well. If you leak anything there, your "wiki" (I think it means genitalia in some Afrikan tribal lingos) is the first item to get lopped off!

Use your freedom to help those dying asking for it. Join Amnesty International. Join the Free Liu Xiaobo Group.

And don't compare Liu Xiaobo to Julian Assange. The Chinese guy is jailed for asking for freedom. The Australian idiot is jailed for abusing it.
