$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('jesus_of_suburbia', 'M')y new forum name, jesus_of_suburbia is the second track of Green Day's "American Idiot". I liked that particular album more than I really like the band's work as a whole. I love "Jesus of Suburbia"'s lyrics and thought they were rather appropriate considered peak oil.
Hey, I just discovered "Jesus of Suburbia!" My brother in law (wife's brother) gave me "American Idiot" for Christmas, 2004 but I hadn't listened to it much. Lately it's been in heavy rotation on my mp3 player and I was all, "Jesus of Suburbia? Hey, I know Jesus of Suburbia! He's on peakoil.com!"
Anyway, great song. I never thought I'd hear Rush and Queen references coming from a punk rock (revival) band like Green Day but there it is. And why not?
