That region of my brain that controls/stores that thing called fandom has been on serious overload this week. Most of you can figure out at least part of the reason: That 60s throwback garage band called the Foxboro Hot Tubs has been rocking my world right there with the rest of you. But this week I'm been struck by the collision of my obsession with all things Green Day and the re-appearance of the group that would have been my first fandom, had that word existed back in the medieval ages before the internet. There is simply no way to over-estimate the importance of this group to me and the entire generation who came of age in the 70s.
