I recently heard and loved The Saints Are Coming, a CD single that combines two of my favorite bands, U2 and Green Day. They performed the song during half-time at the Superdome, when it reopened for a Saints game on September 25, 2006.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest is a sure-bet for one of the top-selling DVD’s this holiday season, but I think Superman Ultimate Collector's Edition will also be popular. The alternate versions of the first two Superman movies make that box set appealing, and the enjoyable movie Superman Returns should find a larger audience on DVD than it did during a crowded box-office summer.
