GREEN DAY'S 21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN DUE MAY 15

I can't wait. And I'm a guy who was cynical about them when Dookie first hit in '94. I liked Green Day, but I became a fan when I heard "Minority" from their 2000 album, Warning - which was when the media really stopped paying attention to them. Of course, they got that attention back -- deservedly -- with their next album, the classic American Idiot. And their next project, as Foxboro Hot Tubs, Stop Drop And Roll!!!, was my favorite album of last year.

So, I know all the "they're not punk" etc. slams that the band always gets. I think that they're the real deal, and I can't wait to hear their 21st Century Breakdown. When they tour, I'll be there (and hoping to hear some Foxboro songs).
