Green Day should retitle their song "Brain Stew" as "Brain Worms" because that's what I think about that statement

I guess he doesn't remember the 10 million copies of Dookie he sold in the US alone.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Or all the punk bands in the RNRHoF, which is mainstream defined. The Pistols killed absolutely nothing let alone punk.*

Interesting that both Lydon and Green Day became cabaret.

I can't get my head around that photo. John looks like he's proud of the band, yet in the shot is the writer of the 'Rug Rats' music, probably appreciated by a wider audience than Pistols, PiL and Devo combined.

All episodes dl'd and ready to watch. Just need to find out if The Boss also wants to see it. If so, I'll be waiting, otherwise I'll be firing it up.

I'm expecting something well made which misses the point, based on the trailer.

I never watched the trailer, but my expectation is something that dials back the politics in favour of the personal perspective of a kid suddenly in the middle of a hurricane.

More like a hurricane in the middle of a kid. Steve was wild and didn't give a fuck.
