New Asian Virus
« on: March 31, 2020, 02:49:24 AM »
Sixteen of June, Chinese stocks are going up
And I'm coming down with some new Asian virus
Ju Ju man, Ju Ju man
Doc says you're fine, or dying

Come on folks, how has this not been discussed already?  (OK, I havent been around in a while so maybe it has been.  Whatever).

What do we make of these 2009 lyrics in March 2020?

The B-man, always a seer. Just like in "Please", written before 9/11...
September, streets capsizing
Spilling over down the drains
Shard of glass, splinters like rain
But you could only feel your own pain.

Those were written during the H1N1 pandemic of 2009.

Which was in itself an augury of things to come.

I noticed the aptness of that lyric, but didn't think much about it beyond that, tbh.

I am aware of that.

That was a mexican virus. I'm not sure in what month nloth came out, but i don't think bono is that fast. The Asian virus was SARS in 2003. I'm not sure he is talking about that virus specifically

Walk out into the street
Sing your heart out
The people we meet
Will not be drowned out
There's nothing you have that I need
I can['t] breathe
Breathe now

Bono should shut up about being relevant, and just wait for the band to be relevant

Yeah, that would make sense. H1N1 came a bit later than when he would have written the lyrics. SARS-1 is probably correct here.

Yeah that verse is about the peace talks in the early 90's in Northern Ireland, but it does sound eerily like a 9/11 comment.

To my knowledge, the only time they addressed 9/11 is in the third verse of Hands that Built America.
