Walk On, Burma
September 27, 2007
I awake this morning to news of shots being fired out in Burma against the demonstrators against the military regime.
In the words of U2’s song “Walk On”:
Oh, oh
Walk on, walk on
What you got, they can’t steal it
No, they can’t even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Burma, including the monks and Aung San Suu Kyi.

Another place uses Barry Manilow music to fight crime
September 17, 2007
In July last year I reported reading that a local council is playing Barry Manilow music to keep away hoodlums. Now, I read that a Colorado judge is setting a sentence of listening to Barry Manilow music for one hour for noise-pollution offenders. He said that after listening to loud rap, an hour of Barry Manilow music is "horrible punishment".
