The song that caused an intergenerational rift.
And now is the source of an argument between Trump, Elon Musk, and Greenday: Green Day Tweak Trump With Altered ‘American Idiot’ Lyrics at NYE Show – Billboard
Greenday basically gave Trump the one-finger salute on NYE.
I feel terrible. I had the flu. And then I discovered I had a secondary, bacterial infection in my lungs, probably pneumonia. I’m still coughing and feeling terrible. I’ll come back and comment in the morning.
Thus, I’m going to bed and not wanting to babysit the thread. Wake me up when September ends.
I hope you feel better real soon!
Take care! Rest, fluids, OTC if you have aches or fevers, some basic nutrition 
It’s kind of dumb, don’t ya think, that a couple of old billionaires are butt hurt about something a punk rock band did.
Giving a politician the salute is the whole point.
Hope you feel better soon.
Just shows their ignorance.
“People are so sick of being preached at about politics from rock bands”
“Stick to what you’re good at. You’re not a political analyst. You’re probably not really well read on the issues that Americans really care about”
— fox pundits talking about the Green Day horror.
But these guys? ROTFLMFAO.
I agree. I think once you get to their level, goofy stuff like this should bounce off.
It has always been a weird thing for a lot of conservatives(not all but a lot, especially pundits) where they spend so much time talking about how celebrities shouldn’t be involved in politics or if they are people shouldn’t listen. Was it Ingraham’s book “Shut Up and Sing”? Whoever it was I always thought it would be funny if someone told her to shut up and…wait what is it you actually do? But once they find a celebrity they agree with they are a hero and are covered a lot. Because you know, they’re real American celebrities. It’s weird.
Ted’s a little out there but he is a wildlife conservationist and founded with his wife The Freedom’s Angels Foundation that supports US troops.
The Kid? A lot of people don’t know about his support of:
Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
EasterSeals.
Habitat For Humanity.
Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt.
Muscular Dystrophy Association
They’re outspoken. So? The 1A is still part of the US Constitution. Green Day doing whatever it is they do is their right as well. Some will nod in agreement some won’t. Again, so?
I was simply pointing out the hypocrisy. Of course, everyone has the right to their opinions, even if others disagree.
Green Day wrote American Idiot about Dubya, they haven’t changed their positions in 30 years. Listen to the lyrics, they’re quite explicit in their opinions, even with the adding MAGA references.
I think she said “Shut up and dribble” with regard to Lebron James and his politics, right ?
While I agree that nobody should take that much stock in opinions of a basketball star about subjects that aren’t basketball, he has a right to an opinion.
I don’t recall many conservatives in 2008 telling the Joe the Plumber to “shut up and unclog my toilet”.
