Track:American Idiot - (album version)
A loooooooooooong time ago, Bono intro-ed a live cover of "Helter Skelter" by going into a laughably pretentious spiel about how Charles Manson had tried to steal the song away from the Beatles, but now U2 was stealing it back.Now, perhaps, Green Day is trying to steal American football - the Official Non-Motorized Sport of the GOP, boo yaa! - back for the rest of us by getting into bed with the NFL and "playing with U2 before a game in New Orleans later this month.":http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2589359&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlinesbq. "One year later, people continue to be devastated by Katrina's effects," Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong said in a news release. "We hope that by collaborating with U2, we'll remind the public that people of the Gulf Coast are still suffering and still need help to rebuild their lives."I suspect that somewhere down in Woolly Swamp, Charlie Daniels ain't none too happy about this.
