NO. That would whore out the meaning that the song actually has, just because it would make a quick buck for a 9/11 fund doesn't mean it should be a single. There is life beyond 9/11, not all actions need to be made based on how much money it can make for the victims.

It's not about the money, it's about relevance and the fact that "New York" is a great fucking song!

Maybe the version they're playing now?

It may do alright on the charts given what happened on September 11th.

What do you think?

There was a "letter to the editor" written in the New York Daily News the other day. A guy was saying that U2 should release NY and POE together as a single (or is it double) and donate the money to the relief fund. I think that would be a great idea. Would like them to rerecord both though....put new lyrics into NY and make POE more listenable. I don't care much for the album version of POE.

What do you think?

That would be sweet! Definitely rerecord them though.

Yes, with a bonus track from the show where Bono said, "Bin Laden can kiss my white Irish ass". Just that line.

It would get a lot of attention in the U.S. but not worldwide. In A Little While or Kite would be much more succesful.

agreed juan...i also dont like how critics would see the release, cos no matter where the money would go, that would be a devastatingly effective pr move...but one that could easily appear calculated and raising U2's standing via the tragedy...

Agreed! New York is a brilliant song but I think it would be spoiled by being released. Same with POE.

Personally I don't think they'll release anything else after Walk On (which isn't out here yet) because Bono has got new material - so they'll prob release that!

No! There are at least two much better singles left on ATYCLB - IALW and Kite!

Apart from that, I don't think that they'll release a fifth single. Why should they release a single in Feb/Mar 2002 15 months after the release of ATYCLB with no further promotion like a tour or various TV appearances scheduled?
