Green Day Are Not At Wal-Mart

Of course not, they're on tour. But their new cd 21st Century Breakdown will not be offered for sale at the mega store. It seems the band was asked to alter any offending content so it would be sanitized for sale at the chain, (which has become a leading seller of music in the United States). The bands label, to my surprise, has agreed to accept Green Day's decision and not alter the cd's content for Wal Mart. According to AP, singer Billie Joe Armstrong commented "They want artists to censor their records in order to be carried in there," he said. "We just said no. We've never done it before. You feel like you're in 1953 or something."


Green Day are scheduled to appear live in Central Park tomorrow for ABC's Good Morning America. Head to the band's website to find out how you can attend. You can also meet the band at Hot Topic's Hollywood and Highland store, June 2 at 7pm. For more information: 323.462.2590.
