28 YA: Paul and Linda McCartney attended the premiere of Wayne's World II in London.
That’s an underrated film.
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.

8 YA - the one and only time America was actually great: More than 100,000 people signed a petition to deport Canadian citizen Justin Bieber out of America.
Dang it, how's I miss the opportunity to sign that one? :mrgreen:
Glad it didn’t work out. We would have missed out on a lot of tasty cutz.

Today!

28 YA: Green Day release their third studio album “Dookie."

I liked the video for Basket Case.
Hello,

Dookie was quite good. You could make a case for it as the standard to judge pop-punk/punk-pop albums.

I also think the follow-up Insomniac is underrated.

Seriously? It was originally to be a Tony Iommi solo album but the record company wouldn't release it without it being called a Black Sabbath album.

Late to this but what an album, pretty much every track a winner as I recall. Don't think they ever topped Basket Case either, personally speaking also it made me feel less alone when I was going through a particularly shit time mentally and as such, will always love it.

Firstly that rating system is somewhat dubious in general.

Also goodnes gracious that review must have been ghost written by Suzyn Waldman.
