JF says: We wanted to interview Green Day and Warner invited us to their hotel where they’d be giving their press conference. I don’t think Green Day were very excited about it, as you can see.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_day
Green Day is an American rock trio formed in 1987.[1] The band has consisted of Billie Joe Armstrong (vocals, guitar), Mike Dirnt (bass guitar, vocals), and Tré Cool (drums, percussion) for the majority of its existence.
Green Day was originally part of the punk rock scene at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California. Its early releases for independent record label Lookout! Records earned them a grassroots fanbase, some of whom felt alienated when the band signed to a major label.[2] Nevertheless, its major label debut Dookie (1994) became a breakout success and eventually sold over 10 million copies in the U.S. alone, and 15 million copies sold worldwide.[3] As a result, Green Day was widely credited, alongside fellow California punk bands The Offspring and Rancid, with reviving mainstream interest in and popularizing punk rock in the United States.[4][5] Green Day’s three follow-up albums, Insomniac, Nimrod and Warning did not achieve the massive success of Dookie, but they were still successful, reaching double platinum, double platinum, and gold status respectively.[6] Green Day’s 2004 rock opera American Idiot reignited the band’s popularity with a younger generation, selling five million copies in the U.S.[7]
The band has sold over 65 million records worldwide,[citation needed] including 22 million in the United States alone.[8] They have won three Grammy Awards; Best Alternative Album for Dookie, Best Rock Album for American Idiot, and Record of the Year for “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”.

(words and music by Greg Graffin)
Against the Grain is the fifth album (and seventh release overall) by punk rock band Bad Religion released on November 23, 1990.[1] This is the last album recorded with drummer Pete Finestone who left in 1991 to concentrate with The Fishermen and was replaced by the next drummer Bobby Schayer shortly before their 6th release, Generator.
Along with the last two albums (1988’s Suffer and 1989’s No Control), Against the Grain is considered by many to be the band’s greatest album, and it contains many songs that are constantly cited as the band’s best, including “21st Century (Digital Boy)”, “Anesthesia,” “Walk Away,” and “Modern Man.”[citation needed] More than just an influentual album, Against The Grain gave many punk fans and many punk bands hope for the survival of punk in the 90s.
Like Bad Religion’s albums up to Generator, Against the Grain was remastered on April 6, 2004. The 1990 original version is now out of print.
Against the Grain also marks the 10th anniversary of Bad Religion playing together after their formation.
Some parts by G. Graffin from the book ‘is belief in God, good, bad or irrelevant?
‘Human knowledge is created by a collective of workers in all sorts of fields. Neurobiology is one of the newer fields of inquiry. When we add the data to the wealth of data from psychology, evolutionary biology, molecular biology, medicine, etc. we are one step closer to answering the mystery of human life.’
Greg Graffin; ‘The intolerance of the Inquisition is, I believe, a natural outcome of traditional theology. History is the result of causes. Although we probably can’t always figure out exactly what caused certain things to happen in history, we can examine some of the dominating factors’
‘Did you know that my great grand-father, E.M. Zerr, wrote a multi-volume Bible commentary in the 1930s that is still in use in rural areas of the Midwest in a sect called Church of Christ?’
‘It seems that most people want to believe there is more meaning in the universe than actually exists. There is strong emotional drive to find meaning, wich may be “hard-wired” in our brains or a cultural universal found in all human societies perhaps. The drive leads many people to accept religion readily because theologies reassure us that indeed there is an ultimate meaning and an ultimate purpose to human life’.
‘My religion, wich is of course as yet undefined and totally unpopular, accepts morality as a set of prescribed rules that came not from an supernatural being and his mysterious wisdom, but rather came from a recognition of human behavior. We humans can recognize our own behavior and we can codify it. We are smart beings who can characterize good and bad behavior and relate it to how it makes us feel(good or bad).’
‘The facts of naturalism are too powerful for people to ignore, but they haven’t had time, or haven’t had the need to think deeply about how that conflicts with the tenets and implications of traditional theology’

JF says: I didn’t know Jawbreaker very well in 1995. I knew a couple of songs only. My friends had alot of respect for them so i had to go to the show and film Jawbreaker. I talked to Chris (bass) and asked him to film the show. He was wearing a kilt and was very friendly. He said “Of course you can film !”.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jawbreaker_(band)
Jawbreaker was a San Francisco punk band. The band also had roots in Los Angeles, where members Blake Schwarzenbach and Adam Pfahler attended Crossroads High School together, and New York City, where Schwarzenbach and Pfahler met bass player Chris Bauermeister at New York University in 1988. The band put its DIY ethos into practice by managing themselves.[citation needed]
Jawbreaker released four full-length studio albums between 1990 and 1995 as well as a number of EPs, 7 inches and splits. Even though they were signed to a major record label for their final album Dear You, Jawbreaker failed to achieve much commercial success during their years of recording and performing. The band split up in 1996 and members of Jawbreaker went on to form or feature in several bands since then. In January 2008, Pfahler announced that the band had recently reunited for an upcoming documentary.
