Man, I was such an asshole to Green Day during this period. For some ungodly reason I held on to punk as a rhythm not an overall attitude.

My dudes! When I tell you this, I want you also to know, in high school, when I was in my first bands - they were shitty punk bands - I dressed in khakis and sweater vests. Thank goodness I saw more of the world.

God damn do I hope my children are better than me.
