I wholeheartedly support BJA and Green Day for the message of what they did, but holy shit I can't stand to listen to their music. I hate that I have to now make a whole "I swear I'm not MAGA" preface to my inability to tolerate them.

The American Idiot album is good and the anti-Bush aspect feels less political these days because everyone hates Bush now.

Maybe I'm a suckered for a rock opera though. I never got into their actual punk early stuff.

Hunh. Their early stuff was "punk"? Interesting.

Nah, it's a tiny bit of extra effort. Fuck Green Day, but Fuck Fucking Trump. It's that extra bit that we've had to add on recently, like Fuck Hamas, but Fuck me, Fuck the fucking IDF.
