I wonder if Fink's opinions have changed since he wrote Roshambo, or if perhaps someone else in the band wrote it. I'm a Green Day fan because I've got a copy of Nobody Likes You in front of me and I'm going to once again drive the point home that we shouldn't be discussing The Network here in the Green Day thread, lol.
"It was then that the masked "Europeans" moved in." "They have strange accents. Thye are really F-ed up, strange people". I think putting Europeans in quotes and talking about their accents.....Spitz and Lucasey think the guys are faking their accents. Which is possible. The book then goes on to deny that The Network are Green Day at least EIGHT additional times.
When The Network appeared and began recording Money Money 2020, Green Day had left the studio after a 'rap session' with Rob Cavallo, sorting out their feeling of Billie being a crazed tyrant and stuff relating to all three of them growing up and being more mature. Oh, here's the quote from Bill Schneider (following some odd quotes from Cavallo that makes it sound as if Green Day ARE the Network) - "Green Day are not the Network".
"Green Day are not the Network".
