Every morning I Google myself to see if the world still loves me.

How come everyone hates Green Day for being "political"? And how come those same people are thinking the new album's going to bomb just because we don't have Bush to be pissed off at anymore?
Green Day's political, so what? Fall Out Boy attempted to be political with Folie A Deux (even almost releasing it on Election Day?) and no one on here lashed at them about it. I'm smelling a double standard.
I felt American Idiot was a more of a commentary of life UNDER the Bush administration (You know, what happened during the last eight years?) not solely ABOUT Bush. Look people, Billie Joe was pissed off about how the first Bush term turned out and he expressed it the only way he knew how, through music. Now he's got the last four years and everything Bush dumped on Obama to sing about, let's not pigeon hole the band until we hear the new album, okay?



edit: I just downloaded and listened to an old demo for the title track off their new album against the band's wishes. Sorry guys, but when you tease us for three years (which is a very mean thing to do) fans tend to get a little desperate and find and post shit like that. Anyway, I listened to it and I'm even more excited so don't you worry Mr. Record Company Executives, I'll be giving you my $9.99 in May for the full album. *eye roll*
