As promised, GDA's 2007 recap of the year in news is finally here. It has all the news highlights from the past year from Green Day and the Green Day Authority. If you want more information on any item, clicking on the date will take you to the original post.

Against: The band are taking it slowly though -- August might be too soon.

We'll have to wait patiently to find out...
