Poseurs, punks, sell-outs, wanna-be's, anti-establishment, anti-Bush, anti-everything, whatever.  They're obviously here to stay.  I, for one, am grateful. 

I'm not going to go on about 'American Idiot', it's all been said before.  I want to give my thoughts on a song off my favorite GD CD, 'Nimrod'.  

I don't know where Billie Joe gets his inspiration.  Angst, depression, life in general, marriage, kids, etc.  But it works.  He can say something to simple that 5 million people don't "get" but 5000 may and think he's a freakin' genius.  "Worry Rock" is one of those songs.  One line sums it up:  "Promise me no dead end streets, and I guarantee we'll have the road."  Who doesn't want that?  Simple, but poignant.  Obscure but dead-on.  My life sucks, your life sucks, our life together probably sucks.  But hey, we have no directions.  Just let me drive and we'll keep on going.  You just keep the road clear and we're gonna keep moving.  Nothing more, nothing less.  No dead end streets sounds pretty sweet to me.
