It's a palindrome...does that have anything to do with it? Or maybe the 4 at each end anulls the "evil" of 666? No idea. Do tell!

This is all I can find

U2: "46664 (Long Walk To Freedom)"
Info: Unpublisheder singed. That singed was written of Bono jointly with Joe Strummer and Dave Stewart.


Lyrics (*)
When freedom rises from the killing floor
No lock of iron or rivet can restrain the door
And no kind of army can hope to win a war
Like trying to stop the rain or still the lion's roar
Like trying to stop the whirlwind scattering seeds and spores
Like trying to stop the tin cans rapping out jailhouse semaphore

U2 wrote a song about it?

Then its probably Mandela's prison number...am I close?

"Long Walk To Freedom" was Nelson Mandela's autobiography, so I bet it was his prison number.

You are right on the money, it is Mandela's prison number.
