Billie Joe Armstrong...giving straight boys hard ons for 20+ years

I'm not in love with the idea of another rock opera either, just because it's not that original after you've done two of 'em, but I also don't see how organizing the content of songs into a storyline and acts at all should change or affect the style of the music? If y'all want catchy tunes similar to ye olden days, that will happen or it won't, regardless of if they format it like a play, no? Hell, I'm sure with a little work we could re-package Dookie as a rock opera. Let's see: The main characters are a couple, Basketcase and She, and they live in Paradise, USA. Reorder the songs a bit and I'm sure you could come up with She's escape from home, her meeting Basketcase, their communal boredom and ultimate loneliness. They fight a lot as a couple and Basketcase questions his sexuality. A little more work, throw in some imagery and titles for Acts, and you've got yourself an old school GD rock opera. I guess my ultimate point/question is: do you think structuring an album intentionally as a rock opera has an affect on the music itself? Does it really go beyond lyrics? Because I'm not sure it does... And I think most of us overall appreciate Billie's progression as a lyricist, even if we're missing some of that old school humor, we're mostly concerned about the music, not the lyrics.

I'd love just to wake up one morning and see the album just there, no promotion, no label bullshit. Just a surprise album, ready to penetrate our eardrums with its awesome.
