Green Day's singer sounds like a fag.
Very encouraging!
Green Day is a bunch of untalented men in their mid 30's playing dressup and pretending to be punk rocking teenagers that are half their aged. That's not "punk" by any definition. That's "loser."
Have you ever seen a nasally-voiced 30-something year old eyeshadow-wearing adult male who wasn't one?
punk rock ping!

What often appears on the surface, is not what is actually there on closer examination. We all should be less inclined to accuse, and more inclined to look and listen. Their are many objectors who are not only silenced by their peers, but are also silenced by those who they are actually helping.
Very good article.
Illbedamn.
I imagine he'll have the billets rockin', pretty directly.
Great article. I found myself in Mr. Graves shoes a number of years ago when I was publishing a music magazine in Florida.
Punk Rock is quite an enigma. In terms of content it leans very left. In terms of a business model there is a very American, Entrepenurial Spirit behind putting out your own records and touring the country in a beat up van.
I never understood why so many of my peers where sympathetic to countries and political systems that would have squashed their creative tendencies with an iron fist. It's good to know that a few musicians get it.
Will he Jump the fence??
No, just a spoiled teenaged brat who refuses to get out of the parents' basement.
Not all punk is Leftist. One of the Ramones (Joey?) was very much a right winger. And The Dead Kennedys were far from Leftist. "Holiday in Cambodia" is a great anti-Communist song.
Don't you have a good ping list for this?
I'm sure you'll have some comments.
I'm actually a little surprised that Green Day turns out to be a bunch of leftist wankers. Oh, well... I've been wrong before...
Real men listen to Death metal and country anyway. I can't stand punk.
"Have you ever seen a nasally-voiced 30-something year old eyeshadow-wearing adult male who wasn't one (a fag)?"
Yes, actually: Alice Cooper.
This is a great article.
I USED to like Green Day, until they decided to be a bunch of unoriginal, anti-American, left-wing nutjobs.
Folks, Conservatives have best selling books. We have talk radio. We are starting to take back cable news.
Let's fight to take back Hollywood and the rest of these left-wing whimps.
