I haven't seen/read of anyone asking Green Day or CBS why the flag was backwards behind the Green Day set at the Grammy Awards.

Did you see their performance last night... ? It was great...

Do you understand what they're singing about in the song they performed?

Don't wanna be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under the new media.
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindf*** America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
Well that's enough to argue.

Well maybe I'm the f@**** America.
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along in the age of paranoia.

Still think they're great?

Sounds like you should check out Richard Cheese - Lounge Against the Machine. Hillarious, and quite good at what they do. :-)

That is true, and when it's hanging when people can see it from both sides, the blue field is to be closest to the middle of the street.

Thanks! Much better.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

They likely don't know any better. Illiterate pukes probably have never read the US Code.

It's called a book. You open it and read it. Can you say Book? Good! Now pick up a brick and throw it through your TV screen, and please, never post again. Thank you.

Who peed in your cereal today? Why don't you take the stick out of your ass and lighted up a bit.

Yes, they really said that. I was on the way to pick up my daughter, and SPC Snowden (AFN DJ) made the announcement, began it by saying they were playing in Germany that weekend, then added the bit about them playing for the "German fans"...I remember it distinctly b/c when I picked up my daughter, I told her, "Green Day will no longer be played in our house"

[doug from upland]

You're right. 48 stars. They haven't made that flag since I was a kid.

[MacDorcha]

GD and Willie Nelson?

You sure you're on the right forum?
