Incredible Idiots

this is now.
I may be the last in the world for this one, but...
(are you ready? just checking cuz it'll floor you.)
...Green Day's American Idiot is being produced as a Broadway Musical.
So, holy shit. Do all the old punks have mortgages now?
"American Idiot follows the exhilarating journey of a new generation of young Americans as they struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 world, borne along by Green Day's electrifying score. This high-octane show includes every song from the acclaimed album American Idiot, as well as several songs from the band's Grammy-nominated new release, 21st Century Breakdown.
Apparently when masturbation's lost it's fun you write shit music that appeals to the lowest common and find a way to make jewish grandmas everywhere take the newest man in the family to a show for christmas.
I seriously have not had any time for Green Day since Dookie. What's better than your mid teens at punk shows? I saw GD in support of this album at the Bob Guertin Arena (in Quebec) when I was 15. This was in a whole different province with a lower drinking age. Being 6'3 at 15 means you buy the beer. My friends Ryan, Chris and I split a case of 50 and smoked a couple grams before sinking into Gen Adm. I remember more of that show than I do from the shrooms and hash brownie combo at the Pink Floyd show the next year.
So. Here's Dookie. Spend 45 minutes thinking about how much fun it was to be a teen and ignore the disappointment of a Broadway Green Day. Low quality and it sounds like it should be on tape.
Fuck You

someone should die for this
Broadway? Greenday? I'll pass. I stopped listening to them after Dookie. As of the musical, my ears bleed enough from an aunt that smokes a pack of discount smokes a day as well as a 12 pack of cheap beer.
