PS: Lead singer of Green Day recently arrested on DUI. That probably doesn't mean a thing to any of you, so forget I said anything.

But then that one ballad made them cool again.
Then Blink-182 made them irrelavent.

There are few situations in life where this added to the end of whatever you're doing doesn't make it better. Except perhaps if you have been already drinking vodka because then it's just redundant.

Drink driving, though = rubbish. Oh well.

It's the only example I can think of of a band that "matured" without going shit or seeming dumb. I mean, the Day of today are all... mid-30s? They have kids and stuff. They can't still be writing songs about spending the whole day jerking off and smoking weed. "Warning" is their finest work since "Dookie" as well, in some cases it's even better (stuff like "Church On Sunday" and "Fashion Victim" wouldn't even have been dreamed of by a young period Day).
The Offspring, on the other hand, were shit even when they were good.

I've never really enjoyed much of their proper music, but their hidden tracks have been excellent.

Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong Arrested For Drunk Driving 01.07.2003 3:52 PM EST Green Day's Billie Joe ArmstrongPhoto: Reprise Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong was arrested early Sunday in Berkeley, California, for driving under the influence.
The punk-rocker was pulled over just before 1 a.m. after authorities spotted his black BMW convertible speeding, according to Berkeley Police spokesperson Mary Kusmiss.
After Armstrong failed sobriety and Breathalyzer tests, he was taken to jail and booked for misdemeanor drunk driving. He was released later that morning on $1,200 bail and will be arraigned later this month.
Kusmiss said the 30-year-old singer was "very cooperative" and did not inform authorities of his celebrity.
Green Day's latest album, the rarities collection Shenanigans, was released in July (see "Green Day Call Shenanigans With Rarities List"), and the band recently contributed to Iggy Pop's upcoming LP. Green Day are working on a new album in their native Bay Area.
And outside of music, Armstrong recently played a high-rolling gambler on an episode of UPN's "Haunted."
A spokesperson for Armstrong did not return calls for comment.

maybe my favorite off of Insomniac, lyrics & relentless repetitive riff sum up the spirit of the album better than any other
