The album American Idiot was released on September 21, 2004, and is now around 20 years old

Twenty years has gone so fast

Wake me up when September ends

What the song was about:

One of the songs in American Idiot, "Wake Me Up When September Ends", is not entirely related to the album's central narrative.[6][7] The song was inspired by the death of lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong's father in September 1982.[5] On the day of his father's funeral, Armstrong reportedly ran home, locked himself in his room, and when his mother came to check on him, he told her to wake him up when September ended,[8] and held onto the song title for several years after.[9] In an interview with the Howard Stern Show, Armstrong said that he initially avoided writing a song about his father for years, until he "[had] a breakthrough" and created "Wake Me Up When September Ends" in his honor.[

What the music video was about:

Bayer envisioned the video as a mini-movie,[50] wanting to create something unlike other music videos that he felt were predictable.[49] Bayer brought the idea of an Iraq War-themed video to the band after interviewing soldiers who had signed up to fight after being persuaded by a television advertisement.[51] Bayer also said that he wanted the music video to be more political than the album's other music videos, saying that he "wanted kids to talk about the war," and felt that MTV had not spread awareness of the conflict and its consequences on soldiers.[13] Although it was not the song's original meaning, Armstrong felt it was appropriate.[52] Bayer and his crew spent a month casting actors for the roles and conducted rehearsals, which was uncommon for music videos.

I swear, must try this one 🤣 🤣 🤣

I just want to note that Itaukei’s and indo-fijians are much more friendly than they are portrayed in this documentary. It tends to be the upper classes and especially the businesses and political class where there is a rivalry.

And as someone who lived here during military rule, it doesn’t feel like I imagine a police state does. It’s pretty much the same for most. Except the laws get passed by a different bunch of elites.

David Lynch Presents Interview Project is a 20,000 mile road trip where 121 people were found at random and interviewed. Those interviews were edited into short films and showcased on David Lynch's website. When David took his site down the Interview Project material was also taken down. To commemorate the 15 year anniversary of the original launch of the series in 2009, the Interview Project Team has decided to re-release all 121 of the original episodes in hi definition here on YouTube.

Smart asshole

Jon Stewart examines the choice undecided voters are facing in the 2024 election: Kamala Harris, who has an impressive résumé and specific policy plans, versus Donald Trump, whose vision, consistency on issues, anti-labor ethos, and militaristic posturing are at odds with the caricature his followers have created for him.

Just got around to catching this new show, and I love it. I know it's a BBC copy, but I'm such a huge fan of all 3 comedian hosts here.
