The reason I got to be a Green Day addict was through a dream. Once upon a time I was quite happy plodding through my life. Then one day my brother asked my what I wanted for my birthday. I said I would like two CDs: American Idiot and the one by Elbow, which I can't even remember the name of. He got me both. I listened to the Elbow one (which was the one I really wanted) and it was shite. I listened the AI and thought, hmmm this is really good. A few nights later I was dreaming I was camping with some friends. In the middle of the dream Billie Joe walks up to me and says, "Listen to it fucking properly!". The next day I got up, waited for everyone to leave the house and put on AI REALLY LOUD. I was utterly blown away by the masterpiece that it is and immediately went to HMV and bought every single album, studio and live, and realised that every single song was a masterpiece also... It was the turning point in my life. Maybe I should have listened to the Elbow one properly...
Best dream ever!
