Musical Berlin.

On BBC News today I read that a wall has been built around the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin to block out people who don't have tickets to the MTV U2 concert, which will mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Many find it ironic that an event meant to commemorate this anniversary is constructing yet another wall...

as do I.

It's a bit humorous though that the article itself doesn't really emphasize this point- mostly just the fact that it is inconvenient for the people of Berlin, many of whom now won't be able to see or hear the concert.
