Ok, I'll admit to liking them. I didn't pay much attention to them at first, but remember him singing "Do you have a dime, to listen to me whine?" & since then Good Riddance (Time Of Youf Life)(about a failed relationship), Holiday (anti-war), When I Come Around (Im a user and a loser), (don't want to be an) American Idiot.
The relatively slow song Wake Me Up When September Comes (about death of dad) & award-winning Boulevard of Broken Dreams (my shadow's the only one who walks beside me).
Greeen Day's song Green Day from their album Green Day can't get much if any airplay because it's described as a celebration of cannabis.
They refuse to play anywhere the rent is so high that they'd have to charge over $45 a ticket. Concerts may contain political stuff with swearing. But parents attend bringing kids as young as seven.
Lead singer married a woman from here (Twin Cities). He says they'd live here if the band wasn't based in Berkeley. Best wishes, George (MN)
