What happened to Green Day?

There are two types of Green Day fans. Type one is old Green Day, back when they were starting in the early nineties in an attempt to mae themselves punk rock legends. Then there are the new Green Day fans, which can be anyone who's heard their last album. Both Non-Green Day fans and fans of old Green Day, in my expierience, are accusing the new, semi-mature Green Day of being sell outs. The question to be answered is, has the band really become a sell out group, and if so, should it be bothering anyone? I'll come back to that later...

Anyhow, Italy and France will be the finalists for the world cup, which of course means absolutely nothing to anyone else living in Nebraska outside of the soccer playing loop. (No, I am not a good soccer player.) Now, I really expected Germany to be facing France in the final (it was obvious France would beat Portugal), but hadn't really thought much about Italy. Oh well, it's the first time I've followeed world cup, so what would I know. Perhaps I'm subconsciously racist :) (yeah right)

Well, I hope everyone is enjoying the summer months (save those of you who take winter vacations only) and you shall hear from me soon.
