I remember seeing the news when he was released and walking through the streets. I find it oddly amusing that his terrorist past has been forgotten.

Mandela and various other members of the ANC are still on the US Governments No Fly list

Although I wouldn't call it oddly amusing It does irk me to see Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness being touted as respectable politicians.

........but then they do say "One Man's Freedom Fighter is Another Man's Terrorist"

I doubt most of the performers give a shit, there only in it for the publicity and money, i read something in the osm (observer music monthly) tother day about the original, and there was this bloke ( a performer) said exaclty this about the original concert, there was backbiting and fighting on who was to be on the stage for the longest
