American Idiot (me)

My first post-op outing is in NYC to see Green Day's new Broadway show "American Idiot" with my son, husband & a friend of my kid.

We're waiting for curtain.

I remember discovering Green Day when my now-high school aged boy was first born and would only be consoled when I bounced him around to "Basket Case".

I LOVE Green Day and hope at some point you share the play with us through your eyes...they are an amazing band indeed and thankfully have withstood the sands of time!!! I agree with Indigo...it's wicked cool you are sharing this with your son!!!

Basket Case, good tune and nice play on words or should I say fitting. I don't have a neat tune to bounce back at you, but I do so remember those long nights, dancing around the living room with my first. She is still a good dancer.

I didn't think the actual opening was for a day or two more away. Pre opening? What did ya think of it?

A lot of music is still new to me in some senses. Green Day was one of those discoveries, but you have seen me use them before other places. Teen angst to be sure, but his/their poetry points at other things a little deeper, always refreshing and their music is very sound and even innovated at times. In the early days of American Badstand (no, I didn't forget the n) Dick Clark would ask a coupe kids what they thought of a new tune. Stock answer was always, "It's got a nice beat and you can dance to it.", which pretty much meant in real words, it bites the big one, Dick. Any hoo, hope to hear you're in your dancing shoes soon. You've got the right beat and I know you can dance.

That is such a fantastic album in so many ways. That album kind of took the place of the absence of Rage Against the Machine during the Bush years. God how I wish Rage were together during those 8 years. But Green Day and System of a Down did a good job of filling in :)
