Artistic Expression

Who's heard of Green Day? I have. And it seems to me that in all of their songs, they make fun of the government, or say it's stupid. Like in Holiday and American Idiot.

In American Idiot, Green Day claims that our nation is controlled by the media, and that's how the government keeps everyone here and convinces other countries that we're the best country in the world.

In Holiday, Billy Joe (I think) talks about nuclear war and things like that. He also talks about killing gays or something like that. Those songs are loud and very confusing.

Green Day's songs include the most judgemental and rebellious of most artistic expression in songs. But then there's the thing about cussing. Both those two Green Day songs have some sort of cuss word in them. And even in James Blunt (which really surprised me, James Blunt is such a wimp)! It sucks for kids who want those songs and can't find clean versions. Like Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne.

My shift key's all sucky today. Just thought I'd share that.
