Green Day is Back with a New Political Statement

Alan Cross 1 Comment , , ,

Green Day’s new greatest hits album, God’s Favourite Band, is out today and includes a new track called “Back in the USA.” The video is inspired by an underrated 1988 sci-fi film starring Rowdy Roddy Piper (yes, the wrestler) called They Live.

Let’s compare and contrast.

And now the new Green Day.

    “They Live” meets “Pleasantville”
    Hopefully this is the start of a return to American Idiot-era Green Day activism. It’s sorely needed!
