With a volcanic intensity and manic joy, Green Day electrified a near-capacity crowd of almost 10,000 with a brilliant, explosive concert at The Mark of the Quad Cities Wednesday night.
Boasting a set girded with hits from the band's current multi-platinum album, "American Idiot" and a generous array of familiar favorites from the act's previous 16 years of action, the show was nearly perfect in its execution.
"This next song is a big f--- you to George W. Bush," Armstrong screamed as an eardrum-rattling affirmation rose from the crowd and the band tore into the antiwar anthem "Holiday," generating a feverish, feral energy as the hit gathered momentum.

Don't be stupid. Really, don't be stupid.
Stop. Reread your comment. Does it make sense?
Are you making something up out of thin air in order to attack me with it? Reading something into a post that's clearly not there or even implied?
Then don't bother posting. For that matter, if that's the case, don't bother coming back.
I missed that concert - darn. Now that I see the Bush bashing I am sad to have missed it.
ReplyDeleteWhat is funny is that three of the biggest Republicans at my office were there to see the comments--ha ha!!
