Green Day are an American band who make ambitious music out of, well, questioning America. The music of their 2004 album, American Idiot, expresses the fear in the U.S. the days after 9/11, as well as the band’s disillusion with the government of the era. All politically charged lyrics aside, Green Day are a rare bunch who have sold millions of albums (at 15 million, 1994’s “Dookie” is the world’s best-selling punk rock album ever), launched a Broadway musical and earned generations of punkster fans. – Anne Erickson

Longview, Washington writes connection to the Green Day song

An article from a local Washington newspaper recently talked about the connection their town Longview has with Green Day. The city is famous because it shares a name with one of Green Day's most popular songs, which was released in 1994.

Billie Joe wrote about the title of the song back in February on Twitter :

“Our friend/roadie Kaz Hope, suggested we call our song Longview because the 1st time we played was in Longview Washington in spring 1992″

Green Day has been writing songs since 1992, but hadn't given it a name. Since they debuted it in Longview, WA, the name stuck.
