-First formed in 1987 under the name Sweet Children, '''Green Day''' is a popular pop-punk band from [[California]]. They experienced success in the mid-1990s and resurgence in popularity beginning in 2004. Their album [[American Idiot]] was turned into a [[Broadway]] musical.
-Green Day has been involved in charity work with the band [[U2]] in response to [[Hurricane Katrina]] and to environmental agencies, wanting to reduce America's addiction to oil. The band was a vulgar critic of President [[George W. Bush]] and is a much more subdued, cautious kid-like approach when it comes to [[Barack Hussein Obama]]'s actions.
