I was wondering if they were going to do this, as it is a very U2 thing to do. And it finally happened, in Hamilton last night. I take what U2 does very seriously because I know they believe in everything they do. And it's hard for me to realize this but I'm uncomortable with what they are doing- maybe I'm wrong but this is my gut reaction.
I think it is too emotional to put people through by listing the names during One/Walk On- songs that are incredibly emotional anyway. People know what happened in NY. Everyone is outraged over it, and steps are being taken to prevent this from ever happening again, people are changing their ways even in their own lives. I think it's different from other tragedies in the sense because we ARE aware of it (whereas admitably we might not be aware of tragedies that happen in other countires).
A U2 show in itself is a very emotional experience and I just think being reminded of this tragedy in such a way really would be very difficult witness. Anyone from Hamilton agree? I know Mrs. Edge said she was in tears.
In no one do I mean this as dissrespect for anyone touched by the tragedy- by however many degrees of separation. That's not what I'm saying. Maybe even a image of the American flag - I know Bono hugged one that night in Hamilton and showed a picture of one from Notre Dame. But imo, I think it's too much to see those names listed.
