post-9/11 some believe familiar music will sell well this holiday. i ve been down to the bottom of every bottle nickelback, they had bigger hits than everybody. everybody s welcome in the nickelback club. we ve got a big club. yeah, yeah a lot of rock is not really doing what it used to do, and it s almost like it lost its will to fight. unless you re talking about green day. don t want to be an american idiot you can t undersell how shocking it was that the definitive statement on george bush s america came from green day. all across the alien nation everything s meant to be okay it was kind of like a rock opera. you had to listen to it from front to back because it told the entire story of what was going on in the decade. wake me up when september ends
