How you can serve politics with your Green, Daily salad.

Well it seems that finally Bush’s approval rates have hit rock bottom and made the USA decide to finally make a change. Last week during the mid-term elections in America the democrats have smashed the republicans and now dominate the white house and the senate. What can this tell us? Well the first thing that popped into my mind is that there are many critical artists out there and I just wondered how they will end up once Bush’s term is over. Let’s take an example;

The first guy that comes to my mind is Michael Moore! Although he already had his business as the host of The Awful truth from 1999 to 2000 (so before Bush’s terms) he still did have a lot to say during Bush’s term as we saw it in Fahrenheit 9/11. I mean he passed his time talking and complaining about the government and in about 2 years time Bush will be out, and starting now the democrats control the government. So what will he talk about? Well I guess he can try out the fast food industry (ironically enough… since he’s fat) or he could tackle other mean things that are going on in the USA. I know the guy won’t have much to say about Bush anymore though.

What we know for sure is that we won’t see all these clowns that have appeared during and against the bush government. I am talking about the music industry which at some period launched the new trend called “Fuck Bush” although the French added “Fuck America” to it without understanding shit and generalizing that Coca Cola and McDonald’s are evil (Have they become Jehovah’s Witnesses by any chance??). During about 4 years we’ve been fed bullshit by those annoying mainstream bands like System of a Down, Anti-Flag and especially, and outstandingly especially Green Day!

Green Day came last in the anti-bush fashion show. They came last with a whole bunch of mainstream crap and tones of make up and tight pants just to be all like “Yay my friends we are your saviours we are the ones you gotta follow for I, Billy Joe, will get Bush out of the business by making songs, talking too much and attracting little pre-teen girls! Vote for us!”. I mean c’mon! They drowned in their own propagandist diarrhea by having shat too much in our ears. I admire bands like NOFX who always have criticized the government, and at least know how to write lyrics! I mean check it out compare the poetry of The Idiots are taking Over…

“Darwin’s rolling over in his coffin
the fittest are surviving much less often
now everything seems to be reversing, and it's worsening
someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
now angry mob mentality's no longer the exception, it's the rule
and I’m starting to feel a lot like Charlton Heston
stranded on a primate planet
apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground
with generals and the armies that obeyed them
followers following fables
philosophies that enable them to rule without regard”

…to “American Idiot”

“Don't wanna be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information age of hysteria.
It's calling out to idiot America.”

Wow dude… congratufuckinglations, you really are American idiots… I mean can’t you see that you ARE the new media! So now I guess you can control THIS!

But I guess I’ll stop bitching bout mainstream music for the moment. That should come in an upcoming article if I ever feel pissed again by some youth movement towards crappy bands.

The point of this article was to talk about the media after Bush. I predict Green Day selling out like they currently are. Bush will leave in 2 years and what will Green Gay be left with? If they can once again make songs about drugs, sex and chicks like Blink 182 used to do I might reconsider a tiny bit my opinion on them. But I’ll never forgive them for the steaming snotted pile of buffalo diarrhea vomited out of their dick that they shat in our ears and fed us with.

NOFX I know will never be happy with the government and will always criticize it so I know these guys got the true talent to not follow trends and keep their trademark intact. Same thing with Bad Religion I must say, they always criticized the government so I know they will always keep their trademark. Green Gay will sell out. But, I am really curious to see what they will come up with in the future. And anyway they are what we call in French the “Turkish face” of music industry; they have and are being heavily criticized by a lot of bands out there like System of a Down and NOFX as well as punk veterans such as John Lydon, ex-Sex Pistols.

For example during the MTV music awards 2005 System of a Down performed BYOB and during the bridge Daron Malakian the guitarist, instead of saying “Blast off it’s party time and we live in a fascist nation”, said “blast off it’s party time and we ain’t no bullshit political punk rock” referring to Green Day. NOFX in the song “60%” mentions (but not only talking about Green Gay); “Would you rather be fed bullshit From some 20-something, makeup wearing, popstar”

I wanna stop here.

In conclusion, this article has missed its main point. I failed to explain clearly how an example of famous people will do their job after the Bush era (which is starting to end now). Instead, I went on as usual babbling about Green Gay and how they suck. I just can’t stop linking Green Gay and Bush since both of them suck ass from a straw.

All I can say is that I personally think that the famous critics such as Michael Moore, NOFX, Bad Religion, Anti-Flag, Jack Black, Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Oprah Winfrey, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Jay Leno, Seth McFarlane, CNNNN, Spitting Image, Yves Lecoq, Canal +, Jib Jab et al. will not lose their business since there will always be stuff to talk about in this world… I mean it won’t always have to be about Bush. Anyway what will surely happen is that we won’t see or hear about the guy anymore, and Green Day will be out of ideas and sell out. But they have attracted so many new 12 year old girls that I doubt they will sell out this easily, unfortunately.

Oh and by the way, Yes I did go to their concert. No, I did not enjoy it. It was the worst concert I’ve ever been to. I mean who calls themselves punk when they perform in front of a huge audience with fire effects, classical music in the background for the entry, a customized stage, and confetti raining on the audience as the final? Oh yea…well Green Day apparently!

Did I mention I hate Green Day?

I also want to set the records straight; My favorite bands are The Offspring, NOFX, Chimaira, In Flames, Deftones, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Hawaiian6, The Mad Capsule Markets and Children of Bodom. Do you see any mainstream here? No, the Offspring doesn’t count cos we don’t hear their songs looped on the radio, see their clips on the TV and they get to dress the way they want to, plus they only criticized the government in their early albums. So shut the fuck up already! (this goes to, Lenny, Michael and all the people who feel like I am just some phony hypocritical guy who listens to mainstream bands and criticize my sayings when they notice that a song by Blink 182 appears on MSN's “What I’m Listening to” tag. Have a good day)

There, now whatever you’ll say about me liking or disliking mainstream bands will be proved invalid. Now I am open to criticism but you’ll be alone supporting them.
