:P p.s. R-heehee

What blasphemy is this-
that rattles the earth's core
the dogs howl, and cats meow
as buildings shake and roar

Who had the bright idea
to make the earth crumble then,
And start a vicious rumor
like high school all over again?

What blasphemy is this-
the stars gasp as they drop
Who dared to reference PUNK/ROCK Green Day,
And thought to call it "Pop"
****


Lol, I know, this is about as dramatic as it gets...heheh. Just something goofy I wrote the other day

LMFAO.

Doesn't Pop stand for popular music, though? I suppose the idea of punk rock is general to be counter-culture, though, so calling it popular music would be kind of opposite of what it is...

Green Day aren't punk at all.

sorry sweet-heart, but Greendays days of punk are long gone.
It seems the essence of punk music has been lost to this generation, but you;ve gotta understand that the stuff you guys are calling punk rock is everything true punk rock fights to not become.
Green Day sold out a long time ago and now they play the biggest venues in the world along with all the other massive superstars breeded from this so called "counter-culture".

At the very least call them pop-punk. Cause they are just a contrived little band that is trying to keep an image they shoudl have shaken off long ago.

I used to love Green Day. And I listen to A LOT of punk music. CAll them punk all you want, but you really cant argue the fact that they are as "pop" as you can get.

P.S. I thought your poem was very nice.
~The bandit’s body slumped to the ground, knees hitting first,followed by the rest.His dead weight pushed dust into the air in a swirling cloud.The blood flowed from his head,splicing like river canals,delaying slightly on pebbles before flowing on through the street.~
