Here is the official FBI website profile of Bin Laden; you'll notice he's not wanted in connection with 911.

With the vague justification of coupling music and politics, I think this is a pretty interesting video from Depeche Mode. Bit more hard-hitting than you're gonna get from U2 and Coldplay anyway.

Dunno though if in time, the lack of emotion in a track like The Gift appears a bit dated and immature. I'd probably side with Lou Reed on the Heroin debate. Would it be a case of posturing to insist on a lack of emotion in the song- art in the service of the nihilistic Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
