A good (Green) day
Guess where I was last night. Guess. No, really. Guess. You won't get it... I found myself with two tickets to the SOLD OUT Green Day concert!! The bf and I went and I have to say it was freaking awesome!
I've loved Green Day, like, forever... sorry, I slipped into Teen there for a second. My high school grad song was a Green Day song. So here I was jumping up and down, bopping right along side 15 and 16 year olds to songs I bopped to ten years ago. With a few new songs thrown in.
I don't much care for Green Day's political views, but they are entitled to them just as I am... however they made some anti-American comments and the crowd cheered. It's pretty safe for them to do so up in Canada I suppose. The thing that irritates me was all the cheering from the crowd. These kids have no idea why they are cheering. Hey, let's hate the US because this uber-cool guy hates them too. F***, Yeah! All I could think was that this lead singer is just a sad, sad person if he thinks that he's getting support from the crowd. No, he's getting idol worship and he knows it. Leading the dumb isn't really leading, it's directing.
So, other than the commentary, it was a wicked concert. Many songs brought back memories from high school. Some good, some bad.
