TimesOnline wrote up a pretty amazing article about the new album titled "Green Day return bigger and better", and sat down with the band to talk about the new album. They talk a bit about the process and feelings that were behind the album, and the general storyline and references. It's one of the best reads so far about the album. Thanks to J'net for posting it on the forum.

Diablo Magazine writes that the MuST Celebrity Golf Tournament that Tre hosted (attended by Mike and Butch Vig) raised $40,000 for the charity, which helps with music programs in the Oakland schools.

We've created a dedicated place on the forum for people to talk about the shows they're attending for the tour. Read this thread for the details, and remember that all tour dates are posted here. The tour page will be updated with new details as we get them.
