                Hi U2 lovers !

        I can agree with both Stephen and Zowie about this. Rock stars can't
change everything BUT can change some things. Zowie examples are very good
examples of what rockstars can do. I mean, inform people of what they're
interested in and make them doing something to improve a situation (like in
Ethiopia). In fact, i see this as 2 opposite powers which can fight each
other. I mean, the power of public opinion can be opposed to the power of
politicians/government if they disagree. All the politicians have to take in
account public opinion, as people are their voters. But it's also sure
people can't change everything. Stephen can be felt cynical, but he's
realistic too. If a little dose of cynism is needed to be realistic, it's
not so bad ;-) Just think not to be bitter.

        In the name of love
