1 Comment What if the Streets had No Name? May 26, 2016 Question of the Day: What if the streets had no name?"... Bono, the lead singer of the band, was told by a man in Belfast, Northern Ireland that he could tell you the race, religion and income level of anyone in the city just by telling him the name of the street they lived on. The realization that our cities are often divided in such ways collided with the economic disparity Bono experienced when he visited Ethiopia. So he wrote the song from the view of an Ethiopian man envisioning a world where there was no separation between rich and poor; a world where the streets had no name." 1 Comment
