U2- Where the Streets Have No Name

At the 2002 Superbowl right after 9/11, U2 was featured in the halftime show. I was only 9 years old at the time, but the performance has been singed in my mind since. Bono's heroic wailing, the Edge's tingling riff, and the colossal display of the names of the victims combined to make my hairs stand on end, and tears drip from my eyes. Despite their Irish background, U2 made me feel closer to my country, and I think everyone else felt the same way. It was a stunning act, showcasing their most emotional tune, in the most emotionally vulnerable time this country had seen in a while. Remind us of that moment once more on 9/11.
