Then we'll sell it for no reason, so people can listen to it for no reason."

Furthermore, you say i might think that calling you "son" gives me an air of, what you so eloquantly described as, joviality and/or superiority. Well yes i might think that, but i don't.

I look forward with utmost eagerness to your next installation, son.

you "smote" him there? you asked him to elaborate. nothing more.
how about this. count the number of chords in american idiot-any song or album would do, but people for some reason are quite persistant that this album isnt a waste of time-and then compare it to basically any other band, but for arguments sake shall we say, godspeed you black emperor, or refused, or any opther band with more than three chords?
greenday have limited musical mtalent. of course they have a minor amount, they can play an a,c and g and occasionally an f on guitars!
greenday are pioneers in nothing. they are inspirational to no decent bands i have ever seen or heard about.
in my opinion american idiot was made because the record companies went "your album sold well. make us another!"
"yes sir mr gives me money. anything you money money."
three days later, american idiot was written.
