Was the U2 song about the US Bloody Sunday or the UK one? -- The Anome




The Northern Ireland / Free Derry one...




Looking at the lyrics, it could be about either, but I have a feeling that with U2's Irish background it is likely to be the latter. -- The Anome


Plus there are numerous interviews (and some onstage hectoring) by Bono which make it perfectly clear which one they're talking about...(e.g. http://politics.guardian.co.uk/devolvedpolitics/story/0,9137,582283,00.html)


There might be some confusion stemming from the fact that their song Pride in the Name of Love was about the assassination of MLK.
