Dear Billie,
So, I have a few questions. Why are you so pissed at Dubya's aggression when you attacked someone in your crowd? Unless the 'media' lies. But if that was true, than how could we know the situation in Iraq is so "horrible"? Yea, its a shame that mass genocide was ended...and that there is clean drinking water in areas there was never water before. And having a say in the government, well damn.

Also, why are you quoted as saying, "I don't know shiz about the bible, so I made my own up, " in Guitar World's Guitar Heros? Isn't the main platform for why Bush is in so much trouble is because there were no bombs in Iraq? Inadequate information, if I remember correctly. Well god damn, Billie! What a double standard! How can you slander the name of a religion by creating "Jesus of Suburbia" ? Personally, I think "Muhammad of Middle Class" works just as well. Adds its own flare. how about "Buddha of the Bourgeoisie" ?

sincerely,
Kame

Another reason Greenday(That's the band he's on, right?) sucks.

So what, his songs are good, I think you're reading in to them too much.

Yeah, this is really hard to play, what with the CONSTANT POWER CHORD NONSENSE. Can he not write a song without using a G sharp 5?

Oh, and the lyrics are trash as well.

I dunno what to say about this, mainly because I like Green Day, but I agree with some of what you said. Especially that last part of the letter.

I like Green Day...their old stuff, anyways. Politics ruined the band.

I couldn't tell that some of their songs like "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" or "Holiday" were anti-America/anti-War. Only song that I recognized as anti-american was "American Idiot"

So you're taking offence to one of the few artists who actually takes a stance on a topic? Are you trying to discourage actually having an opinion? You certainly won't change his mind by taking shots without him knowing. Whether you're right or wrong, I think he'd be able to defend his opinions solidly if you talked to him in person. Also, since you're attacking him personally, this doesn't belong in Music & Sound. This belongs in Null, because it has no purpose.

I personnally disagree with most of the arguments you've made, FYI.

Here's how your letter reads to me:

Dear rock star who will never read this letter, and whom I have never spoken to previously,

Here's some bullshiz from the point of view of exactly the type of person you hate. Here's some more. Here something irrelevent. And here's some more bullshiz.

Sincerely,

Someone you'll never meet


Your statements are hollow, your methods are ineffective, and you're still annoying. You havn't changed a bit happy.gif
