THE TIME OF OUR LIVES

ok i know im not supposed to like greenday..i know theyre not the punk-iest band alive..but then agen who exactly is punk? look arnd n name one truly punk band tts also attained some kind of mainstream recognition today..not the the mainstream means shit to punk but wt i mean is after the sex pistols, who? not evn ramones managed to attain that kind of notoreity or fame..im not talking abt commercial success..if anything rock n roll dictates tht ur probably more prone to derteriorate n die in a haze of drugs and degenration the more rock n roll u r..then agen im hardly of the opinion tt being rock n roll shld mean the death of u..im just saying i like greenday..im sorry i cnt help it theyre pretty cool..i really liked the new album ..tho i started listng to it just recently...maybe if they went a lil easier on the eyeliner they cld win some more credibility..not tt theres anythng wrong wt dressing up..just that its a bit of drastic change at 30-somethng for blue eyed pin up blonde boy of pop punk..neverthless i think we've seen the end of true punk..to be honest we've probably seen the end of rock music..bands like greenday and offspring may be the last flicker of a dying flame..i doubt therell be another led zap or sabbath or even metallica..audioslave, foo fighters, system of a down are all purveyors of a last minute revolution..nevr mind that theyll nevr achieve wt their heroes did but theyre the last ones tht will come close..and they deserve our respect for it..n attention..coldplay at the end of the day is cold listening, irrespective of how many times they go platinum..u2 is running on its last legs-vertigo was partuicularly bad..staind or the killers will nevr command the kind of maniacal following that the who or floyd could command..these bands cn nevr inspire a lifestyle of dream..wt they cn do is make u jump around a few times wen ur drunk n leave a 2 minute smile on ur fire..the fire in ur belly, that adrenaline rush u feel in the presence of true musical greatness will nevr visit u agen..so before american idol clones wipe out wts left..i say give the temporary messiahs a chance..
