Instagram
Instagram is a photo and video sharing social networking service owned by American company Meta Platforms. The app allows users to upload media that can be edited with filters and organized by hashtags and geographical tagging. Posts can be shared publicly or with preapproved followers. Users can browse other users' content by tag and location, view trending content, like photos, and follow other users to add their content to a personal feed.

A DVD of the August 23, 2003 concert in Slane Castle, titled Live at Slane Castle, was released after the tour ended.

Catholic School Girls Rule
"Catholic School Girls Rule" is a song from the 1985 album ''Freaky Styley'' by The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Although never released as a proper radio single, a music video for the song was made and was directed by longtime friend, Dick Rude.

The song was also featured on the band's 1992 compilation album, ''What Hits!?'' and the music video can be found on the VHS/DVD of the same name.

The song's chorus features a guitar riff identical to that of the song "Thirsty and Miserable" by Black Flag.
