The Beat (Who Knew U2 Are Football Fans?)
Sports Illustrated,
January 25, 2002
[From the Jan. 28, 2002 issue of Sports Illustrated magazine]
Who knew that Irish rockers U2 were such big football fans? Not only will the band be featured in the Super Bowl halftime show, but also the video for its single "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of" centers on the agony of a field goal kicker who misses a chip shot that would have won a Super Bowl-esque title game. The concept came from video director Joseph Kahn, who says the rockers know nothing about football. "All they told me was, 'We want you to do something very American,' " says Kahn, adding that he based the story in part on Bills kicker Scott Norwood, who missed a field goal in the final seconds of Super Bowl XXV. John Madden, who appears in the video, also gave some input. "He was supposed to say, 'I can't believe he missed that kick! It was an easy kick!' " says Kahn, 28. "But he goes, 'There are no easy kicks, son,' and changed the line to 'It was a short kick.' " © Sports Illustrated, 2002. All rights reserved.
