We sort of expected that "Beautiful Day" was going to figure into last night's U2/Green Day collaboration before the first post-Katrina game at the Superdome in New Orleans; it's become an officially sanctioned Song Of Hope in the last five years, thanks in no small part to U2's 9/11-memorial performance of the song during the Superdome-hosted Super Bowl XXXVI in 2002. But that didn't stop us from getting the uneasy feeling, once the chorus kicked in, that two screens were going to pop up behind Bono and start scrolling a list of Hurricane Katrina's casualties. Yeesh.

Umm...I don't quite know what to say about Mr. Armstrong's overall look there.
look! it's a photo of the Edge with Fran Drescher & Justin Timberlake's dad
"Fats Domino, you're beautiful!"
I didn't know The Edge could talk, much less sing.
Yes, what a fitting tribute to the city with one of the richest musical traditions in America: A kiddy punker from California and a couple of Irishmen. Well done, NFL.
Hey, it was this or Aaron Neville, take your pick.
.....I was going to check out the NFL halftime show last night, but it was a tough day at work, and I dozed off in my chair.
.....Edge should stick to chiming chords and the neato digital delay tricks he does better than anyone else!
fuckin' crap. the whole lot of it.
Remeber when 'Stuck in a moment' was the theme song for The Our Nation's Tragedy(tm)? Oh, the suffering...
Why didn't they just do 'where the streets have no name'?
