1. Even Green Day does not sweeten that pot.
MTV is corporate music at its worst. They haven't had a heart since the original VJs left.

2. I didn't even know it would be on soon.
I like to watch it anyways, so this is a bonus. :)

3. I'd like GD to ask MTV why they haven't played "Wake Me Up When
September Ends" (the video, not their live performance). I don't think mtv or mtv2 or whatever the hell it is has played it. It's not on their website...is that odd? Or maybe mtv doesn't like the message. Sure, teen masturbatory material is legit, but a kid enlisting and getting sent to Iraq is too much. Wouldn't want to get outta lockstep, eh mtv?

4. You have a link somewhere to that video
I haven't seen that one yet.

To be honest, I watch videos through Rhapsody, mainly if there is a song I really like and I want to see the Video (Btw, Broken Dreams deserves all the accolades it has received)
