"Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" by Green Day

Birthday wishes go out today to Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer of pop-punk stalwarts Green Day, whose single Boulevard of Broken Dreams was just one of the great tracks on their seventh album, 2004's American Idiot.

Although it may be hard for people to believe now, Green Day provided the most high-profile criticism of the tyrant George W. Bush as he laid waste to the United States in his efforts to be elected President for the first time, following his judicial coup in 2000; while the press was sleeping the slumber of the overly-contented, Billie Jo and the boys were left to lead the charge alongside Michael Moore.
