I’m getting anxious for Wrestlemania XXII tomorrow night.
POD will play Rey Mesterio’s entrance into the ring.
From WWE.com:

P.O.D. to play Mysterio to the ring at WrestleMania
When Rey Mysterio hits the ring at WrestleMania for the biggest match of his career, P.O.D. will be there to perform his entrance theme, “Booyaka 619.”
The versatile and accomplished band P.O.D. has become an MTV juggernaut with such hit albums as The Fundamental Elements of Southtown, Satellite and most recently,Testify.
After the performance on April 2, P.O.D. will bring their unique sound to a new recording of Rey Mysterio’s “Booyaka 619” entrance theme. The track will be featured on the upcoming WWE/Columbia Records release, Wreckless Intent, which will arrive in stores and online nationwide this spring.
P.O.D. is a natural fit to perform Mysterio’s infectious entrance music not just because of its musical style; both P.O.D. and Rey proudly hail from the “619” — San Diego, Calif.

WWE has also used POD’s Boom for Saturday Night’s Main Event last month and has used their music for several other promos as well.

The Boston Globe has an article on special “U2 Eucharist,” a communion service punctuated by the band’s rock music.

Multicolor streamers flew over worshippers’ heads at this service. Children danced by the altar. Plasma-screen TVs illuminated the gothic sanctuary. Some people sang and clapped. A few looked puzzled.
Brooks said the special service is part of an effort to reinvigorate his congregation by infusing it with young people and those interested in social activism. The service included an offering for local charities and enlisted volunteers for the One Campaign, an effort to alleviate global poverty that’s backed by U2’s lead singer, Bono.
“We absolutely need to grow in order to survive,” Brooks said.
Weeks before the service, church members conducted what Brooks called “guerrilla marketing,” posting fliers at coffee and sandwich shops, bars and colleges. About 130 people showed up for the Friday night service, roughly the same turnout as a Sunday morning.

What do you think? Do U2 songs have a place in the church? During a communion service? They’re being accepted on Christian radio, but only if they’re covered by the likes of Delirious or Chris Tomlin.
