Green Day

I had the opportunity to go to a Green Day concert at the beginning of August. One of the first things I noticed was that it was an all-ages show. Knowing Green Day, I was a bit surprised. But that is not the point of this blog post. Green Day has become more or less the opposition voice. Damn the man and all that. Don't do what you're told. Etc... However, Billie Joe Armstrong would refuse to play unless everyone would clap louder, or in one case there were still some people sitting down in the seats they payed for rather than buying the general admission tickets to stand on the floor (these were parents that were simply there to keep an eye on their kids, going back to that first thing I noticed...) Anyway, it was an interesting case study to see this band that stands for everything they do, but still basically representing everything they oppose.
