Happy Green Day Day!

Ah yes, the time has come for a new Green Day record. The new album 21st Century Breakdown hits stores today and I am anxious to pick it up. My Aunt Cassie passed me a cassette of Dookie when I was much too young to be listening to Green Day, passing on the message "Don't let your Mom hear this" and I have been a fan ever since. Here's to a band that has never faltered, never wavered in their beliefs, never balked at how popular they've gotten, never put out a bad record or even written a bad song and most importantly: done whatever the fuck they wanted since 1989. Cheers to you Green Day, I'm sure this album is another stellar addition to your impressive catalog. I'll be thinking of my Dad when I upload this to my iPod, as he and I caught the American Idiot tour a few times and we both fell head over heels for that album. Here's to another 20 years, boys. The godfathers of pop punk have returned.
