Oh dear
Thanks Lelia for sending me this from NPR’s Marketplace:
Kai Ryssdal’s final note…
The 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall coming down is next Monday. A concert in Berlin tonight by Irish rock band U2 as part of the MTV European Music Awards is marking the occasion. Right in front of the Brandenburg Gate — 10,000 free tickets were snapped up in just three hours.
One small problem, though: MTV and local promoters put up a 6.5-foot high steel wall to keep the ticket-less out. We’re going to call it … the irony curtain.
