Who says Green Day isn't punk?

[revid]

This essay was tagged in my Green Day Google Alerts this AM. It seems like every time the band does anything, we hear the same old whining chorus of "They're not punk!" coming from losers that were still pooping in diapers when Billie Joe and Mike were recording their first EP. This author says it all much more eloquently than I could.

Some people are just never gonna stop beating that dead horse. *shakes head*

Cool article, though. Thanks for sharing - it was a much needed diversion. =)

Purists are so annoying.

And this: And, best of all, when Wal-Mart, the biggest retailer of music in the world, insisted that they release a "clean" version of "21st Century Break Down" to sell in their stores, Green Day told them to go to hell.

V. Cool :D
