Eaworm # 6
A few weeks ago, I went to see the touring Broadway show American Idiot. If you ever get a chance to see it, I highly recommend it. My favorite part was how the dance and music meshed together. The movement was raw and heavy-hitting punk, just like the music. There seems to be a trend of taking songs already in existence and working them into a Broadway show; it is very intriguing to me. Green Day's songs take me back to, well, grade school through the present. I remember seeing them performed in variety shows in school and then, more recently, I have rocked out to them on Rock Band (I play the drums.) They are a music group who have really been able to define the greater part of our generation (who didn't sing/play/hear "Good Riddance (Time Of my Life)" at some point during their high school graduation??) Today, one of their songs is stuck in my head. Actually, it is just one line, "it's not over til your underground" over and over and over again. Enjoy!
