The recent U2 stuff reminded me of their 1997 concert in Sarajevo, where they took a loss by keeping ticket prices low, and people of different groups got along to The Power of Rock Music. :) Anyway, how do you follow up U2? Why, with Bruce Lee, of course!Back on November 26, 2005, Mostar in Bosnia erected the first ever statue of Bruce Lee (beating out a Bruce Lee statue in Hong Kong by one day).
Lee was chosen by organisers as a symbol of the fight against ethnic divisions.:) What also amused me is that the statue faces north, because that's the only neutral direction.
"We will always be Muslims, Serbs or Croats," said Veselin Gatalo of the youth group Urban Movement Mostar.
"But one thing we all have in common is Bruce Lee."
"If he faced west he'd be defending east Mostar from west Mostar, or west Mostar from east," Gatalo says. "And he can't face south, because that's Croatia. Facing north, he looks nowhere."
