I 1997 bhí seachtain ag Páirtí an Lucht Oibre chun an Comhrialtas Rainbow a shábháil ó díomuach. I 1997 bhí damáiste déanta den Linn Snámha I nDurlas leis an chostas 3 mhíle punt. Tháinig breitheamh Peter Smithwick amach agus dúirt sé go raibh sé scannalach. Phléadáil cheithre daoine óga ciontach don chúiseamh. Agus an cúiseamh a bhí ann ná treaspásóir leis an rún chun goid. I 1999 bhí an fear a rinne níos mó ná 250 glaoigh chuig bean a raibh ina chónaí I dTeampall Mór ordaithe chun 500 punt a thabhairt chuig an Ghrúpa Tacaíochta d'Íospartaigh ó bhreitheamh Mary Martin.

Chuaigh an t-albam chuig uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain agus d'fhan sé ann ar feadh trí sheachtain. Bhí amhráin ar an albam cosúil le The Long And Winding Road, Across The Universe agus Let It Be. I 2000 d'oscail an cheoldráma Up For Grabs I Londain sa Wyndham's Theatre agus bhí Madonna sa phríomh ról. Ar an chéad oíche bhí daoine ag gearán nach raibh sí go maith ag canadh agus nach raibh siad ábalta í a chloisteáil agus í ag labhairt. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh James Charles I Meiriceá I 1999 agus rugadh amhránaí Lena sa Ghearmáin ar an lá seo I 1991 agus seo chuid de amhrán.
