Whistle-blower Edward Snowden tells SCMP: 'Let Hong Kong people decide my fate'

Edward Snowden says he wants to ask the people of Hong Kong to decide his fate after choosing the city because of his faith in its rule of law.

The 29-year-old former CIA employee behind what might be the biggest intelligence leak in US history revealed his identity to the world in Hong Kong on Sunday. His decision to use a city under Chinese sovereignty as his haven has been widely questioned – including by some rights activists in Hong Kong.

Snowden said last night that he had no doubts about his choice of Hong Kong...

He makes licentious references in so many of his songs.
He is a randy little bugger, isn't he? 
Isn't that right, Sledgehammer?

The bridge lyrics, about the book on the table just makes my spine tingle hearing it.  Amazing poetry, beat, and haunting harmonies.

Hi,
Where did you get this version cause it's slightly different from the Album version.
Thank you.
Eric.

Joe Jackson Yes!  I listen to "im the man" and replace yo-yos with Iphone and other substitutions and the song is as relevant today as it was 30yrs ago!

the live version is better- great version on the hit and miss collection.  I am a big Peter Gabriel fan, but I did not enjoy the new blood tour- it could have been much better if he livened up the pace of the show...anybody else notice that?

Has anyone heard anything from New Blood a newly released 'orchestral versions' album from Peter Gabriel?

sighs. this is almost sacrilegious for me to say, me who gives most pg songs 10 on RP, named his first son rael, and who's sister who had a small (very) hand in bringing genesis to the US for their first tour and knew the band... but i tend to agree with dmax. especially after seeing him two weeks ago in kansas city with a very mediocre orchestra. the lack of tony levin was extremely noticeable (lucky i've got tics to see the stickbassman with king crimson this fall here!) 

i also saw the pg tour from this song with the rolling ball... and witnessed pg as a pudgy balding man with elf shoes riding a bicycle around the circular stage. it was a good show, but nothing like his older ones. sighs. dammit, it sucks growing up and growing old sometimes.

but i do still like this song. :)

Does this song reach the brilliant heights of the Passion or So album? Sadly, no.

However, it's far better than any of the songs from the covers album (which, shockingly, are muteworthy).

I LOVE THIS TUNE, at least with PG singing and performing it as only he can!

PRobably would not translate well as a cover. 

Saw Gabriel perform it live at his tour for this album.  Rolling around the stage inside what looked like a 10 foot or so diameter see through ball thingy of some kind.  Wild!

I'm no small fan. However, he's lost my interest. Too muted, self-reflective, subdued, and - get this - not as creative as he used to be.
Really, this album doesn't have much to speak of except some good songs, but nothing as groundbreaking as the album without cymbals (PG3) or the one with digital sampling (Security) or the one with extraordinarily delicate sonics (So).
I think Levin keeps him creative, but - really - watching him sluggishly lug himself in circles on stage while sleepwalking (sleepriding?) through Solsbury Hill I realized that he isn't the same guy, creatively.
And this latest (at this writing) project of doing other people's songs, backed by an orchestra, is simply a lousy idea.
Still, I remember how, at the Security tour circa 1983 or so, he walked on the armrests of the crowd, ending up on my right with my hands on his leg. Way freakin cool.

During the 70's there was a radio station in the SF area which declared a "No Neil Young" policy for a while. I'm hoping that Radio Paradize can make a similar vow regarding Peter Gabriel. I started out a fan, but find his music intolerably the same with each hearing at this point. He could be dropped without leaving much of a wake.
