U2 and Green Day on stage at the same time playing "Beautiful Day" is about all the cool I can take. Two drum kits. Multiple guitars...and Bono wearing rosary beads around his neck. You think he might claim to be Catholic before it is all over with, Young Fogey?
"...tonight our future burns brighter than ever before..."
Green Day = cool
U2 = cool
All together on stage in New Orleans = 2cool4me
Welcome home, Saints. When you are done with this game, get thee to Mississippi and help build a house or six.
Posted by tripp at September 25, 2006 07:30 PMWell, rosary beads are a fairly trendy item of jewelry right now. Like flashy crosses a couple of years ago.
Posted by: beth at September 25, 2006 08:16 PMI saw that too, and thought it was absolutely awesome. Can't get much better than Bono and Billie Joe singing together, IMHO.
Posted by: Stacey at September 25, 2006 10:38 PMI must share. I woke up to a glorious sound.
Since you have expressed your audio pleasure anticipation, I must share mine.
I woke up to Gershwin's "An American in Paris"
being played by the San Francisco Symphony.
What a beauty!
Today is George Gershwin's birthday.
Posted by: teresa at September 26, 2006 10:02 AMDude. Catholics don't wear their rosary beads around their necks.
Posted by: Megan at September 26, 2006 10:18 AMHappy Birthday, George!
Megan, good point...hmm...unless he has become a monk, but that seems unlikely.
Dude. You are so right.
Posted by: Tripp at September 26, 2006 10:38 AMIt does sound cool - missing it serves me right for not following sport like a normal person. :)
One can always hope that Bono eventually takes his good intentions for justice and peace to their source...

True *except in some Hispanic cultures*.
Posted by: The young fogey at September 26, 2006 12:03 PMNeither Tripp nor Bono qualifies as Hispanic.
