later reprint Dookie's back minus Ernie because they were threatened with lawsuits. Also some copies of Dookie come with a
brown tray for the CD.

My Favorite album
This may seem cheap or wrong- say what you will. But American Idiot has
to be my favorite album by Green Day. It's genius (yes, so is Dookie and all of their other work...) But it also must have
taken guts for Billie Joe to decide to put out something that could create a big riot in our culture. This album has proved
that they are the rulers of rock- and that's where they should be. Not only are the songs good, but they're different. If
you dont agree-sorry. I'm not all over the mainstream idea myself, but it takes guts to do that. Singing about masturbation
must have taken guts, but to take down the man is brave, man.

My Favorite Song
ok, ok, okay...so maybe you dont agree with me on American Idiot being
as great as I said- that means you're not a true fan! ANYWAYS! I have to say my favorite song out of all of Green Day's songs
has to be ...Longview. Yes, Longview. Not only is the drumming fantastic- the bass line totally kicks some ass. And I agree
that being a loser must be boring- whatever...I wouldnt know. Hats off to Billie Joe for making us realize what it means to
be a teen!
