Slightly off topic but I happened to be flipping radio stations this morning and as I stopped on KFAN they were talking about Green Day- in-between ripping Culpepper. It was interesting b/c they had nothing but praise for their latest album (American Idiot). I cannot recall all of the conversation but I do remember they (M Morris and the other guy) saying that the "Jesus of Suburbia" song was the best 5 minute or over song ever composed!! And they followed that up by asserting Green Day was the modern day Beatles!! I think they described them as edgy, snappy, political and they've got that something you cannot put your finger on. Anyway it was shocking to me- to hear these yahoos on KFAN praise Green Day. Maybe I will have to reconsider my opinion of them.

Reconsider your opinion of the yahoos at KFAN or of Green Day? :)
both!
I assume that Andy told you this but in case he did not -- before Green Day played "Holiday" at the concert last Friday, BJ Armstrong said "This is a Big Fuck YOu to George W Bush!" I have since ben trying to figure out if he could have possibly said anything else that would make me like the song more than I already do and can't.
that is great! I love that album - even more than Rush- hard for me to admit it. How was the concert?
It is a great album. The show was great as well. They started with American Idiot, Jesus of Suburbia and Holiday. That was really the best part of the show but the rest great too.
