...Bono for Aung San Suu Kyi The U2 frontman wrote the lyrics for the group's 2000 hit Walk On for the detained Burmese democracy activist. Sample: "You could have flown away/ A singing bird in an open cage/ Who will only fly for freedom... " Burma banned the album...
That would be Bono. The Irish rock star and activist could probably be the next Prime Minister of Canada if he wanted the job. But the post is to be taken by a man who spoke after him at the Liberal Party convention in Toronto last week, Paul Martin. A former Finance Minister who has had the longest dauphinate since Brian Williams was first tagged as the heir to Tom Brokaw, Martin will soon replace Jean Chretien, who has led Canada for a decade.

When Steve Jobs holds forth in public, it's usually to a mob of fawning Apple-ites--the true believers who still develop software and accessories for Apple products. Not so last month at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. This crowd was more mack daddy than Macworld. Bono, Mick Jagger and Dr. Dre made video appearances. Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart was in the audience. Sarah McLachlan sang her latest hits live. What was pulling these musical supernovas into Jobs' magnetic field? A software product that just might save their free-falling industry: the iTunes Music Store...
