Two posts in one day?  Gross!  I had a backlog of stuff to say. 

Adding a new segment to the blog: Things People Need to Shut Up About

With the endless number of things one can find annoying, we should be a little more creative with our complaints.  To that end, here is a segment dedicated to things people need to STOP complaining about and why.  Move on to new things, you guys.  Some of this stuff just isn't going to change.  Our first subject?  Greenday.

Any time Greenday is mentioned in conversation someone inevitably complains that they have sold out or gotten pussified because they don't write songs about weed and masturbating anymore.  The members of Greenday are MARRIED ADULTS now.  They have children and mortgages, you guys.  When you grow up and have to pay bills and take care of kids you tend to have more serious issues on your mind.  If you're a musician, you're gonna write different songs.  Greenday's old work is still fun to listen to because it reminds us of when we had easier lives and time to burn, but we can't be angry that they've moved on.  Wanting your band to be remembered for something other than jizz jokes and marijuana references is not selling out.  It's growing up.  You don't have to like it, but stop acting like the guys betrayed you because American Idiot sounds nothing like Dookie.  Why would you look down on a band that actually DIDN'T make the same CD over and over?  Would you want to be stuck in your first job for the rest of your life?  Flipping burgers or scooping dog shit or whatever it is you did when you were 16?  No?  Then kindly shut the fuck up.
