Holiday green day
By Judy Chia Hui Hsu . Found at Seattle Times staff reporter "American Idiot," a 57-minute self-proclaimed "punk-rock opera" was nominated for six Grammy Awards and the California band won Best Rock Album in February, later taking home seven MTV Video Music Awards, including the Viewer's Choice Award last month. Honors aside, "American Idiot" also turned out to be one of the
most popular CDs of the past year. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200
album chart and sold more than 4 million copies in the U.S. since its release
last September. Three singles have also hit No. 1 on Billboard's Modern Rock
Tracks chart. The band's biopic has just screened on VH-1's "Driven."
And there are even reports that "American Idiot" may become a movie. Armstrong, Dirnt and Cool, all fathers now, have collaborated to write forceful political indictments of President Bush and the Iraq war, along with critical commentaries about individual alienation and societal complacency. The impassioned "American Idiot" even contains nine-minute suites with lyrics like, "We are the kids of war and peace, from Anaheim to the Middle East." Jimmy Eats World opens Monday's show.
