I think I’ve talked about this before, why I write and more important, why some of that writing — most these days — ends up here. It’s simple. This is me.

Lyrics Post: “American Idiot”
I can’t believe it’s been nearly 20 years since this song, this album, came I tot the world. Somehow it seems more relevant and urgent today than 2004 when it came into the world. Listen up.
