YAY!

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that I am fucking STOKED that Green Day is going to be on American Idol. I could not care less if they play there, or a Carnival Cruise Ship, or Dollywood or Celene Dion's theatre in Las Vegas. I just want want them to play! It's a charity album they're promoting.

C'mon guys, you don't really mean it when you say it's just awful that they're on TV tonight, do you?

You would rather not see them at all?

Really?

My initial response this morning was to squee out loud just at the thought of GD live on my tv tonight...then I thought about it a bit and kind of went...weh? I mean, I watch American Idol but I'm totally aware of the cheese factor there as I'm doing it. I just couldn't see it as something the guys would do...until you pointed out the charity aspect which hadn't even occured to me - because I'm slow, okay? ;) - and now I'm back to omigodyayGDonmytv. So now I'm gonna be totally bummed if they're NOT there. Hey, its been a busy day in my head. ;)

So who on the East Coast is gonna watch and make the first report? And are you gonna be on line at work for me to email or post with news?

I'm assuming they'll be on around 6:30 California time. I'm going to try to be online, but I don't know if I can.

Marisa has to watch the Lost finale.

Angie, will you come through for us?!!!

I love that you know that about me. I did have to watch the Lost finale, but I'd set the DVR to record the second hour of Idol while we started Lost. Thank God for the DVR, man. Seriously!

And put me in the camp of being surprised to hear they were perfoming, but not caring beyond that. Idol is a machine, a pure, ratings and influence machine, and the most important piece of popular culture this country has pretty much ever had. Billie Joe is a smart guy, so it was bound to happen someday. At least it's for charity!

It is the number one rated show...and there's no such thing as bad publicity. At least they didn't make them mug with the contestants.


How was Lost? :-)

I'm watching it! I was going to watch it anyway just to see Sanjaya again! I can't actually post the video or anything, but I can let people know if they are actually on or not.

Oooh...I forgot you were in New York. Post as soon as you see or hear anything. I'll keep checking back. =)
