/As of this month, Green Day has a new musical on Broadway, based on 
their album/*/ * /American Idiot./ **What do you think of that?
*Somebody mentioned this to me the other day, and I fell off the chair 
laughing and almost shattered my elbow. It just struck me as, like, 
hilarious and wrong. I never thought of Green Day as a punk band. Just 
bubblegum, really. Tom Verlaine [of the band Television] once described 
punk and the Sex Pistols as bubblegum. The only difference is that I was 
discussed in Parliament under the Treason Act, which at that time 
carried the death penalty. That is not bubblegum./
