* This song ties in with U2’s work with Amnesty
International. In 1986, they participated in 6 concerts as part of the
Amnesty International Conspiracy Of Hope tour. Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed,
Brian Adams, and Sting were also on the tour with U2.
On February 5, 1989, U2 played in Buenos Aires with The Mothers of the
Disappeared onstage with pictures of their missing children. After this
song, the women draped scarves around Bono’s neck.
