Friends, I have just recieved the worst e-mail of my life, and I'm
not trying to be sarcastic or funny. This is serious. It's below:

Hey Green Day fan,

You may or may not have heard the speculation of Green Day splitting
up.
Unfortunately, the reports are true. It is unclear to us the exact
nature of the split, however, Billie Joe Armstrong has made clear his
intentions to delay the press conference until the contract opt-out
options are finalized.

Greenday.net has been handed over to Warner Bros and Greenday.com is
already owned by them so we are unsure of the future of the Idiot
Club
and the forum.

We will keep you updated as more news is available.



We still have a chance. Pick up your pens, it's time to start
writing. We need to bombard their fan mail box with letters, we
cannot let them split. We still have a say. I know I couldn't face
myself in the mirror if I let the best band fall apart, because,
without Green Day, who do we have left? No one. There is no band
that can fill those shoes. There is no one who can meet their
calibur of music, writing, or antics; they are the last mainstream
band who have the true spirit of rock 'n' roll. If we let them fall,
we might as well as spit on Joey Ramone's grave, because we are
killing the dream that he brought forth. Friends, this is bigger
than just one band, or just a CD, this is a revolution: the
revolution of the minority. Maybe I'm taking it too far, but I'm not
gonna dig around to find another band to fill their space. That's
right: I'm lazy! But I know that something like Green Day only comes
around every once in a while, and I'll work to save that. If you are
with me, then tell Billie, Mike, and Tre to pull it together and get
to what they're good at: rock 'n' roll! Their fanmail address is
below:
