OH MY LANTA!!! GREEN DAY IS BEING SUED!
Green Day Sued By 'American Idiot'
Most folks have occasionally heard a new song and thought, "Gee, I feel like I've heard this somewhere before." But it takes a special kind of person to take things to another level, by coming to the conclusion that they actually wrote the tune sometime in their distant past, says AOL Music.
Paul McPike, a 30-ish grocery store employee from Medford, OR, placed himself firmly in the latter category this week when he filed a lawsuit charging that Green Day's "American Idiot" album is entirely made up of songs that he wrote when he was in high school. McPike says that he used to regale his high school pals with the "original" versions of "Jesus of Suburbia" and other classics back in 1992, and believes that some devious ex-pal surreptitiously recorded one of his performances and traded them to Billie Joe Armstrong and co. for 30 pieces of silver (or at least unlimited access to Green Day's backstage deli trays).
A U.S. District Court Judge seemed to take McPike's pile of evidence -- which consisted entirely of a copy of the album and a claim that the lyrics sung on the album don't match those in the sleeve notes -- with a barrel of salt, but suggested he could file a more detailed copyright infringement complaint in the future. An interesting suggestion -- and one that jogs our memory of the elementary school writing class where we wrote that line about "buying a stairway to Heaven."

New cloths at www.adelinestreet.com They just like the ones Billie Joe wears!!!!!!!!!! The tie and everything!I got some old news. just read the picture to the left of this. Oh my lanta, so sorry you can't read it but the fine print tells you all you need to know. And that they don't have a date set yet.
All Right. I found a web site with downloads. You probably no this but for the people who don't. It is really sweet, so if you got itunes your hooked-up. It has "Look For Love" by Billie Joe when he was five, and the interview with him. You will notice the beginning of the interview is the very beginning of the Green Day song "Maria". Yes, that little boy is our favorite punk rocker, the one and only Billie Joe Armstrong. http://greendayauthority.com/download/extras.phpOh-Kay, guess what!
