well it's green day season and after an absence of about 5 years, fans are more than antsie for the may 15 release the band's new tone poem, 21st century breakdown: reviewers are busy with their opinions, tickets for a summer/fall tour have gone on sale in selected cities, there are interviews, photographs and streaming audio and visual clips of billie joe, mike and tre everywhere.
(pressure...)
for me, they never have to try and outdo themselves because, unless one of them really has undergone a lobotomy, each batch of songs green day has created over the years has proven to be some of the greatest rock and roll and some of the best music ever written.
why not? face it, the art springs from the genius minds of three immensely talented, magnificent jackasses. they can't help but evolve...that's what makes them relevant in an irrelevant, insane world~
