From the MSNBC article
While big names such as the Dave Matthews Band, Etta James and Herbie Hancock played at the bigger stages, one star casually dropped in on one of the smaller sets. The Edge, from supergroup U2, walked on during the New Birth Brass Band’s already enthralling set, joining them as they sang “Stand By Me” in tribute to New Orleans. The group inserted its own new lyric, singing “New Orleans will never die” defiantly during the song.
Band leader and bass drum player Cayetano Hingle said his group, which was forced to relocate to Houston after Katrina, met U2 when the Irish rockers saw New Birth performing in the streets of New Orleans.
Though The Edge had said he might stop by to see the band perform at Jazz Fest, Hingle was still surprised.
“I looked to the side of the stage and I was shocked,” he said, laughing.

No worries, I'm already thought of as a sanctimonious bitch by many people here.
(I can't post what I think of them though... -- just kidding, folks! I don't really think that much about most people I don't really like. If I like you I think about you, but otherwise I might vent about you for a little while but then I move on to someone I like. That's why I think about that Church guy so much -- he hasn't pissed me off completely yet! )
ElectricalVoice said:Cool. But I just wonder... didn't Dave Matthews Band "hate" U2? I thought I remember that. Maybe it was someone else.
Alexandria, Va.: Hi Henry, it is well-known that you hate U2 and their music. In my experience, I sometimes find myself liking a song by someone I usually hate. Has there ever been a U2 song of which you thought, "that's not bad?"
Henry Rollins: Yeah, absolutely. A song called "Lemon" is a great song because Brian Eno overhauled that guitar sound so much it sounds like an interesting Eno song.
I appreciate and applaud Bono's humanitarian efforts. He seems to be working hard at helping a region and using his celebrity to do that. A nomination for a Nobel that would put him on the shelf as other winners is a little bit of a stretch for me, but I appreciate his efforts all the same.
