U2... go home!

i dont have cable or a dish, so I am going on rumor. I read the Super Dome reopens for a football game 09-25-06, but the only musicians they could find to mark such a grand event are U2 and greenday. In a city where basically every resident is a worldclass musician, the best they could do was "...moves in mysterious ways..." and... (hell, i dont actually know any greenday lyrics.)

I know, Louie Armstrong is dead and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band is probably still homeless, but jeez-c-disney-fucking-chrinkles. I'm sure Chubby Checker or Alex Chilton or "N.", you name one, could have used a paycheck.

My friend from NO area said Geo. Bush was gonna throw out the first pitch or kick off or whatever it is they do to start a game. odd gets odder ever day. Jenna Bush crashes Radiohead concerts and Bush hangs with his greenday homies... are they consciously trying to destroy the right wing? (whatever became of Bob Roberts?)

did i mention, i dont have cable or a dish, i am so lucky i can at least limit the amount of money for disney. (my $.004 withheld mickey!)

Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin dead at 44

Witnesses tell of freak death of Steve Irwin


A DOCTOR and witnesses have told of the desperate efforts to save Australian icon Steve Irwin after the Crocodile Hunter was struck in the chest by a stingray barb today.

Irwin, 44, died this morning after being fatally injured while filming a nature documentary off Queensland.

The news has shocked the nation and prompted a rush of tributes from politicians and the public alike.

Irwin's wife Terri was in Tasmania at the time of the tragedy and had to be contacted by police with the terrible news.

The couple's daughter Bindi, 8, was with her father in north Queensland, Irwin's manager John Stainton said from Cairns.

Choking back tears, Mr Stainton said Irwin had gone “over the top of a stingray and a stingray's barb went up and went into his chest and put a hole into his heart”.
