Bobby Sox > Coming Clean

for Bisexual anthems they’ve done.
 

Maybe it’s because I’m older now and no longer strung out on confusion about how I work. Coming Clean feels anxious and unsettled about it, Bobby Sox feels secure and sweet. 

100% agree with this! I never thought about it, like I classed them both as queer songs I suppose, but never stopped to think of the different life eras they each represent. Thank you!

The best concept albums of all time  Story by Jeff Mezydlo

Concept albums are prevalent across music. Some tell a continuous story, while others use each song to contribute to an overall theme. Regardless of the path taken, the process can be arduous and has even been known to tear bands apart. However, the result is usually pretty memorable. Here are some of the more notable concept albums ever made.

Of course the most notable has to be entry no. 20 :-

'American Idiot' (2004), Green Day

Green Day was an accepted pop-punk machine well before releasing American Idiot, but this record and the subsequent stage play that followed turned Billie Joe and Co. into mainstream giants. It's the band's most mature work, attacking a questionable U.S. government and calling out the overall dysfunction of the country. Fuelled by the title track, “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” Holiday,” and “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” the album sold 16 million copies and won the Grammy for Best Rock Album.

i really want to see Green Day again when they have a show even if its just a festival. But I got attacked verbally by some fan when I had gone to the Rockville show earlier in May and the same fan attacked me in chicago during riot fest. I am a lurker on GDC, i finally caved in and made an account here. what do you guys do? this fan has harrassed me since may i have not even seen him before this. this is his instagram i only have his instagram because the second time i swe him at riot fest he threatened to "beat my a..**" 

i got tagged in some photos with a couple friends who gone with me and this guy found it as my friend she posted the location and riotfest and chicago hashtags. I don't know what to do. i feel so unsafe even with friends going to shows. this guys instagram profile is called   angeltortured_cosplay have any of you encountered the bullying before?

 

he said his name is angel dean the first time i saw him in may. In may what set him off was i asked some guy "can you please hold my spot?" so that i could do a quick walk over to grab food as i had been waiting since 7:30am and it was now about 10am i wanted a snack before gates opened and i was with one friend and he wanted barricade. I'm just thinking if Green Day did a one off show later this year like i know they won't tour right away coming off the Saviors 2 year tour. that i just don't feel safe even with friends. this angel dean guy even said he would bite "the sh*t out of the guy in rockville holding my place while i ran to get food." ? I was only gone less than 20 mins too.

angel dean claims to be "close and personal friends with Billie and Tre" and said "me Billie and Tre text all the time and we hang out" what??? and he claims to hate Mike he came up to me at riot fest saying "Mike is sh*t" how can you be a fan and say that? 
 

I'm only asking this now vs back in september or may when it first happened because angeltortured_cosplay on instagram sent me multiple Dm's saying im not allowed to go to shows and that he's texted Billie and Tre about me. this dude is 29 why is he acting like hes 13??? I'm 20. I don't even feelsafe in this fandom
