Pretty sure I saw a subliminal Che Guevara flash at me in the new Green Day video for 'East Jesus Nowhere.' Not sure what to think about that. Don't really want to go out and start a revolución. Might just be because my life "doesn't suck."

Anyways, enough of this - Green Day has released a new video - have a looksy.

Green Day are the cover boys this week on their hometown weekly paper, The Guardian. The story focuses on a musical the East Bay mods are producing based on their last album American Idiot. Among the most interesting items: Billie Joe Armstrong explaining how he learned to sing by crooning elderly hospital patients with the soundtracks from Oliver, Annie Get Your Gun, and other classical musicals:

"That's how I learned how to sing. There's a real old-school craft to it. That's kind of a corny way of doing things, but when you see something like Spring Awakening, it's ... it's real life, and it's something that everybody relates to, and it's inspiring and emotional. American Idiot was really tailor-made for something like this to happen to it, y'know."

I like Oliver. It's a good one.

Green Day played to 30,000 people at the Verizon Center D.C. last night, right in the middle of their summer arena tour.

Here's the best seat in the house as they close their set with Good Riddance. You can almost what's up to Biliie Joe.

The State of California is attacking (wants to shut down) underage music venues in San Francisco for not selling enough food. Yes, it is true. Slims, The Great American Music Hall, Bottom of the Hill, and so many more are under fire from the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control. The state is forcing these clubs to make at least 50% of their revenues from food.

Who-TF wants to eat at a concert???

I'm sure club food is great to.

Read about it here.... and be not happy! Your town could be next!

That means the shoes are 1) Not Edible, and 2) the glue, canvas, laces soles, rivots and every other item that makes up the footwear has a no-animal-product guarantee. Find an animal product and they will refund your money, no questions asked.
