About "American Idiot" 美國大白痴~

“Summer has come and passed. The innocent can never last. Wake me up when September ends.” Who is sing on the TV? How can you don’t recognize them? They are the most popular rock band of all. This song is from the album American Idiot.

American Idiot was written to tell a story (a "punk rock opera"). The title of the album ---- American Idiot is to taunt the president of the United States . They are tired of politics, war and media. There's much confusion to actually what this album and all of its songs mean, and it’s a question of what it could mean.

Most of the music from Green Day has strong emotions. They use electronic guitar and other strong tempo instruments to express their feelings.

American Idiot is the second best-selling album of Green Day in 2005 which is the most ambitions album of all. It won lots of award, for example: The best rock band of 2006, Grammy Awards of 2005 , the Best Rock Album of 2005 .

There are 13 songs on American Idiot. I recommend “Wake Me Up When September Ends”and “American Idiot”.

American Idiot

The title track of the album. Basically, there's a confused, disoriented, angst kid wrapped around a world of misconception and he has nowhere to go and feels hopeless and miserable. So this kid, the Jesus of Suburbia, is just crying out an anthem for the world to hear, screaming miserably "Don't wanna be an American Idiot..." He sees that he's stuck in this 'redneck agenda' and there's not a damn thing he can do to change it.

WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS
This is on a more personal note, a side song about Billie Joe's late father, who died years ago (September 1982), when Billie Joe was 10. The song expresses his experience of 911. Many people die suddenly in the accident. We should treasure our precious life. That is what this song about.

The spirit of Green Day is music and freedom. It is the goal that teenagers are searching for. If you are an adult, try to recall your memory when you’re a teenager. Try to forget the problems, to be easy. Feel rock music use your heart. Your will have a different experience on rock music.

又再一次的向大家介紹搖滾樂，不過對Green Day的認識，絕對不要只是知道他們最新的這張專輯American Idiot， 他們還出過很多張專輯喔!請繼續支持他們的好音樂~~!
