I always have mixed feelings about this.  I love that they're moving into legend status but also it's just a fashion trend worn by people who don't even know who they are.  Hopefully it inspires people to check them out too. Nice shirt though! I saw a similar one yesterday in Hot Topic but they didn't have my size and I can't find it online, but it was green tye dye like that one, had the dookie logo and the cartoon face for Basket Case from the album.  

I don't mind it at all, it's some cool looking album art and nothing wrong with that being appreciated on its own imo. And like you say could inspire people to check them out as well. Also like to see them up there with the other iconic bands!

So who is going to become your new favorite band when Green Day deactivates?   

Personally, I'm looking at becoming a Viagra Boys stan.    Face tattoos, dog, frogs and shrimp.   international intrigue.

Warning is such an overlooked album. So many great songs, which fit together very well. Bbc sessions just coloured it more.

Nimrod hooked me, but Warning solidified my faith in Green Day.

I could see it being their best album, honestly.

So I didn't know where to put this since it doesn't actually involve Green Day but it certainly made me think of them. Basically, these alpacas got loose in Oakland. They were fortunately re-captured without any harm. Also, Boogie and Woogie are the best alpaca names ever. Also, I love how alpacas have those permanent smiles on their faces. Also, I do not know why this was on my local news. Also, who wants to start a conversation about what Green Day would do if confronted by loose alpacas? 🤣

I've been deep diving music that influenced Green Day and I finally 'get' The Replacements.

Oh, man.  I don't know why it took so much time to enjoy their sound.

Love them but didn’t appreciate them back in the eighties because the radio only played what I thought were their worst songs. I saw them open for Elvis Costello in 1991 but didn’t remember I did until I read their biography recently 😄 It described a show I was at

I walked past one of those electronic bulletin boards at work and saw something about a "GDC Info Session" and I thought of this place. 🤣 Turns out GDC in this case stands for "Game Developers Conference" (video game design is one of the largest majors at the college where I teach, so yes, you can actually major in video games LOL).

Just happened to have Haushinka come up in my playlist for the first time in a long time, and is is SO GOOD. I seriously don't get all the Haushinka hate around here.

Billie Joe should have given that song to one of his sons to record years down the line.  Or the Goo goo dolls.  Heck, Celine Dion would have done OK with it.

It's not Green Day related at all. But I finally bought Money Money 2020 (Part I)
$70 😅 But my collection is now over. I have EVERYTHING.
Don't know who those guys are but I love their music.

Do you have the Last of the American Girls book in both book and audiobook form?
