I suppose we’ll get to see a lot of cool stuff later. They’re saving it for when they’re done with an active career I guess. That said, I think this void created by coronavirus would be a good opportunity to cash in on gig nostalgia. Who wouldn’t buy a live release now? They could’ve released the Prague gig in full.

I mean, I feel like we got some good nostalgia/live stuff with all that Howard Stern stuff, but I would love another concert DVD.

Then they could at least profit off of what’s already circulating. DVD/Blu-Ray releases of Jaded in Chicago, Woodstock ‘94, Prague ‘96, and the 10 Spot would go a long way.

Jaded and 10 Spot are mtv they’d have to pay mtv and split money with them

Saying “American Idiot” is now allegedly forbidden on Instagram. Hopefully calling it Mentally Challenged US Citizen is still ok.

You care to explain? Idiocy was defined as IQ below 30, which would still classifiy as a disorder of intellect. I can’t think of any other usage of the word that would warrant it being taken down as hate speech, other than that the problem word was “American” and then the issue would be racism, which seems absurd.

I think it’s real. I’ve tried several times and it removed phrases “american idiot” and “American Idiot” as soon as I typed.

don't want to talk about definitions or anything like that. also that green day favorite albums stuff aside. i just think you could've worded that better. i have a sister with downs syndrome and that comment instantly stood out to me as derogatory towards mentally challenged/disabled people.

My point wasn’t to be rude to disabled people (sorry didn’t mean it to come off that way), but to point out that the only way this word is offensive is when you use it this way (and then no amount of politically correct lingo will make it better). That’s why I see no point in banning it.

Oh my god. That is so fucking stupid. Seriously? Are they going to ban "nimrod" now too? The word "idiot" does not have the same meaning in our culture that it did historically. It just means senseless and foolish. Nimrod is basically the same, meaning a foolish person.

Word meanings change. For fuck's sake, gay used to mean happy and joyful and had no relation to homosexuality whatsoever. Now it's a completely different word. Conversely, fag used to mean cigarette and faggot a piece of wood.

I hate it when companies behave like they have to walk on eggshells so as not to offend even a single person.

Green Day are helping Bay Area voters pass the time in line with a cup of joe this election season. The veteran band's Oakland Coffee Works company has partnered with World Central Kitchen to make the voting experience a pleasurable one, serving up coffee for those waiting to cast their votes.

Just heard this announced on the radio after they played Waiting!  

I was drinking coffee as they said it, I am definitely being watched. Lol

I bet many people wonder if they are asking for a certain vote if you take the coffee.

They should also offer favorite poisons, koolaid and what other Green Day drinks are there.....I am not a Lushatology member anymore.  I renounced in 2012 so I can't remember all the booze related lyrics.  But neither can the members, buhuhahaha.

Vote That Dude in 2020.

My slogan is 

Due to the passage of time, I meet minimum age requirement.  

I have nothing better to do.

Passerbys will hear The Network blaring from the White House.   

I may paint the house a different color.

No, Green Day aren't doctors so that diagnosis is not valid, therefore offensive.

All copies of the album will now be called "Entity"  as not to offend any person or creature, etc.

I mean, we could just agree the word isn’t used that way anymore and treat it like a regular insult.
