...I sure as hell don't. But, "unplayed piano" just came on...and I stopped and remembered her. I also remembered the crazy American who swam over to her imprisonment "estate"....who she permitted to stay for two days....and then was subsequently charged/punished/whatever with an additional x years of house arrest.
Watching the media reports I was stunned...how could that be?...it's hardly her fault!...he swam there!...but, reality and media portrayal...as well ALL know...are two infinitely different things. Have you heard much about Aung lately?...no???...neither have I. Apparently there is no story there.
I am a great admirerer of singers/celebrities who choose to dip their hand into the causes of the day. I used to admire Bono for that but then he told Paul Martin what to do and Martin actually seemed to listen....I kinda shook my head. So my new hero was and is...Damien Rice and his delightful side singer Lisa Hannigan. Then I get listening to the lyrics of a cool song..."Unplayed Piano"....where Damien whines and wonders on Aung's behalf why no one visits....it's funny given that some crazy western fucker listened and had the means to do so...then is invited to stay for a few days before the "story" hits the media.
I am sure she is incredibly bored and likely wronged in this life. But....there are always 2...3...4....5....pick a number....sides to every story.
I love Lisa Hannigan and I am glad she left Damien. I phone her daily (o.k. I don't but if I had her number I might) but she never returns my calls. Sigh.
