They not only avoided saying anything about what's going on in this country, they skipped all the pointed parts of their songs. Seriously disappointed.
Green Day has enjoyed pretending to be counter culture for decades.
There is a reason it was Green Day, they’re effectively “the man” at this point.
They were edgy by saying fuck. Ooooooooh
"I'm not a part of a MAGA agenda" got censored too... :/
It didn't even get bleeped, they skipped that verse entirely :(
Tbf that fits better than "redneck," after using the similarly sounding preceding no-no word, but I'm assuming they've also trimmed that from the song now themselves.
Also "Green Day plays what is sadly, but undoubtedly, their biggest song ever at the Superbowl." Like yeah duh. I know I know I agree it should be Going To Pasalacqua but I'm apparently the only person on earth who prefers 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours to, well, everything they did after that (Dookie and Kerplunk were great too, in that order, but after that it's one or two good songs at best per album. Like to the degree I think I like Foxboro Hot Tubs and The Network better than "Green Day" proper post-Dookie). But of course they played that and not Disappearing Boy.
Patrick Bateman, is that you?
