"A Peace Concert" -- was held last night at the Library of Congress with U2's Bono, Bill Clinton and Jordan's King Abdullah.
He turned and praised all the musicians, then launched into an appeal for peace in his soft Irish accent. "Mostly, we ask politicians to stick to their guns," he told the crowd. "Maybe we shouldn't. Maybe they should put them down and talk to the enemy." Then he thanked Bill Clinton for his efforts in the Irish peace agreements -- and gestured to the door, where the former president, who had just arrived, stood grinning.
Bono then narrated a dramatic version of "September 1913," a lament on Ireland's noble past by William Butler Yeats, which Bono turned into an antiwar poem by force of personality and 24 musicians providing the flourish. He finished with a tolling bell and a bow for Wolfensohn. "Words are almost superfluous," said Billington, calling it one of the most memorable nights in the library's history.
"Fantastic," pronounced Wolfowitz. Feeling peaceful? "I'm always feeling peaceful."
Guests drifted upstairs for a lavish buffet dinner. Bono and Clinton (surprise, surprise) were surrounded by adoring fans, including many of the young musicians. Wolfensohn stood to one side, looking relieved and very pleased about it all.
He's just everywhere
