How dare Green Day do the exact thing you would expect Green Day to do if you knew the first thing about Green Day!

American Idiot's commentary is rooted deep within the band. Minority is probably my favorite Green Day song... 'She' is a close second. The lyrics are incredible.

Reminds me of Jack Kirby, one of the creators of Captain America. He drew him punching out Hitler on the cover of #1. The US wasn't in the war at the time and American Nazis were not rare, even in New York.

Some dudes came to his office building and offered to fight him (they called from the lobby). Unfortunately for them, Jack had grown up fighting in the streets of Depression era NYC. He agreed and by the time his elevator reached the lobby they had run away.
