[Donna Lee Nardo]

I am so freakin' angry right now after hearing the rock group Green Day sing a song apparently called American Idiot (Don't Want to be An American Idiot) in Berlin as part of Live8.

All I could hear from the demon lead singer was Don't Want to be An American Idiot.....effin' bleep...bleep....curse...curse...redneck agenda....propaganda....bleep..bleep....curse..curse.

Why didn't VH-1 just leave the damn curses in too since the entire song was a massive affront to America anyway. Or, better yet, bleep out the phrase "American Idiot" along with the curses. I have no problem with free speech, but, sorry, VH-1 you effin' goofed. This was not the venue to hear Americans trashed in our own living rooms.

Thank you VH-1. You made my effin'...bleep...bleep...curse...curse day. Once upon a time, I respected you when you were an American outfit with an allegiance to America. But I guess that is not fashionable anymore.

I hear you Donna. I hate green day as well. Can't stand to hear them. My way of dealing with the anger: consider the source. These guys are scum of the first order. They are not worth your time or energy.

So everyone is trashing the very nation that they think holds the key to world hunger? Has anyone even mentioned the name Mugabe?

Was this in Philly? Funny, all the American idiots that went to this garbage fest. Imagine being insulted right in you face. Reminds me of the old saying "they spit in your eye and you think it's raining".

You're not the only one Donna Lee. I tried to listen to it, but found I was hitting the mute button on the remote more than listening to it, so I did myself a favor and turned it off. And they wonder why CD sales are down? It's because I buy MUSIC, not political statements or noise purported to be music.

. . .allegiance to America. . .is not fashionable anymore.
I'm afraid our children are standing at the doorstep of civil war. We are fighting a war over seas while the enemy is fortifying here in the CUSA. Just damn! Soon it will be fight, flee or submit . . .

btw, green day is just a one hit wonder wannabe
