Billie Jo Talks About New Green Day Album

• 20th Mar 2009

Green Day's Billie Jo Armstrong has been talking about his band's upcoming new album '21st Century Breakdown'. The LP has a political theme, as you might expect, and the frontman has explained that the record aims to encourage people to be politically engaged.

Armstrong told Rolling Stone magazine: “A lot of people were born into an unlucky time, the era of George W Bush. There is an optimism now with Obama… be aware. Don't look at this guy as the answer to our prayers. You still need to be involved”.
