Greenday is tight ass, commercial punk and, as such, they really aren't punk at all. They are part of the media showbiz blitz to take down the president. Making tons of money & running with the celebrity pack speaks loudest to these "Johnny 'wannabee' Dangerous" types. If they really wanted to be dangerous they could have defied Hollywood and the Entertainment Industry, defied their cool peers, defied making tons of money from the trendy swank liberals... in other words, they could have been like Kid Rock! But, no, rather, Greenday comes out against Bush because they don't want to sink their multimillion dollar careers to do such a dangerous thing. Yes, these cash cow punks follow the herd, they know Hollywood butters their bread and they really don't want to bite the hand that feeds them (for them it's more like lick the hand that feeds them).

I don't think it is a question of them understanding the pro/con arguments and positions of either Bush or Kerry, but about having to play the game that the liberal herd requires. They must have obviously thought it was cool and Bush would have lost, especially with so many celebrities joining in the Bush bashing orgy, and 'coolness' is a lot easier than having the courage or inclination to think through the issues. Like I said before, they are corporate punk and, because they follow the money, they go against the very essence of punk. They are like most Hollywood types... shallow, herd like, hypocritical babies.

Yes, they are the rich American Idiots!
