I just read that Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, in concert, panning and mocking Bush, introduces himself saying
''I'm George W. Bush, but my friends call me asshole!''.
Love it!

It only makes me sad that Billie Joe Armstrong really has no idea what he's talking about and only does so to get a reaction from the audience...*sigh*

It's called a rock concert. It's full of kids screaming, mosh pits, body surfing, and in ocassions some fella using drugs. Things are not supossed to be taken particularly seriously.

I didn't say I didn't understand. And you're right. Things aren't supposed to be taken seriously. The problem is - they are. Or they are taken, if not for seriousness, for the sake of appearing cool or trendy. It just makes me sigh. In the same manner that pro-Bush sentiments are displayed in sermons, we have rock and rollers displaying anti-Bush sentiments.
The one difference, living in New Jersey, is that I don't have to listen to people constantly talking about how much they love Bush - or very few at that.
I do, however, have to constantly endure anti-Bush statements from people who simply listen to what their favorite celebrities have to say - these celebrities obviously knowing nothing.
It's a two way street. Celebrities promote liberalism because it's popular amongst teenagers, and teenagers promote liberalism because it's popular amongst celebrities. It simply makes me sigh.
There are, however, several people who actually know what they are talking about. These people are heavily overshadowed by blind, ignorant idiots. I guess that's how things are, and that's how they'll always be, but I still retain my right to sigh. I just like things more when people think for themselves. That's why I like it here.

I know what you mean. I think it was wrong from Billie Joe to call Bush an asshole, because the guy is actually a retard. It's not nice to make fun of mentally challenged people by calling them assholes.
Karl Rove, Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and John Ashcroft, now those are ASSHOLES.

Jingles, Applause!
And in THIS case, Billie Joe Armstrong, is the NEW breed of celebrities who are taking up the mantle of people like Bob Dylan, Bob Geldof, and Bono.
Billie Joe is not just using his celebrity for sport or ratings.
He IS VERY politically informed and has strong opinions about Pres. Bush and the Iraqi War, which you can read in this week's cover story/interview in Rolling Stone.
He is not being crass for fun or to sell tickets.
Billie Joe and Green Day recorded American Idiot to make their protest political statement, no differnet than musicians like Dylan, John Lennon, The Jefferson Airplane did during Nixon and the Vietnam War.
His mockery of Bush on stage is all part of the bigger, deeper picture of an informed musician who is using his celebrity, power, fame, as a significant platform to create awareness in today's politically uninformed/apathetic youth.
Read my blog about this too.
Billie Joe also supports Bob geldof and The Make Poverty History Campaign and wears the armband for it at Green Day concerts, and playing Live 8, he took as a significant responsibility.
I applaud Billie Joe and I am glad that a new breed of rockers aren't just sitting on their ass, trashing hotel rooms....
...but continuing to raise awareness, get involved as artist activists and create awareness in people.
Bono and Geldof are getting older and it's time some young musicians of today used music to continue to fight the good fight!

Mind you that "politicized" and "educated" are two completely different things.
I read whatever excerpt of that loathsome publication only known as Rolling Stone magazine. What I found is exactly what I suspected. Sure, they take on whatever cause they have, but in a highly uneducated way, shooting out whatever whims they might come across.
In fact, the only thing I learned from this article was how poor their quality of lives were and how clearly they lacked an education. I wonder if any of them even attended college...
"Tre wound up in the Gilman scene after dropping out of high school."
=======
"'Your politics, when you're a kid, are just basically whatever your parents are bitching about around the house,' says Dirnt. 'I remember when I was a little kid hoping that Jimmy Carter would win. I don't know why the fuck I was hoping that. I didn't know him from anything.'
And your politics, when you're a punk rocker, is whatever the punk rock scene dictates. They got caught up in the scene, and inevitably got caught up in the politics - complaining about things they probably have little or no understanding about.
Maybe they should just stick to legalizing Marijuana or something,
"By 1990, Armstrong, Dirnt and Tre had coalesced into Green Day (named in honor of a daylong weed binge)"
because clearly they are not cut out for intelligent politics.
=======
A statement I will always live by is "After anyone tries to tell you that something is being done wrong, they better tell you how to do it right, right away." This is how you differentiate those who know what they are talking about (political analysts, economists, etc.), and those who are merely complaining to garner youth support (celebrities) - or should I say "those who are merely complaining to conform to celebrities (the nation's youth)."

I agree that Green Day might not know much about politics, but neither do politicians.
After all, wasn't our president a C average college student who spent many of his years drinking booze and snorting coke with his buddies. I'm sure that Dubya did as much (or probably even more) dope as Billie Joe, Mike, or Tre.

Okay, I can't argue with that too much.
