This is probably my favourite Rock song of the 21st century. The song was written by front man Billie Joe Armstrong about his father Andrew, who passed away in when Billie Joe was 10 years old. I think the song resonates with many people, who have lost a father or a loved one. I understand what they tried to do with that, but I think the story line of the video distracts from the lyrics and actual meaning of the song. I think about him every day, really. I kinda avoided writing about him for many years, and then finally having a breakthrough like that felt good.
So this Rocktober blog is not only dedicated to the music I love so much but also to my dad, who died 10 years and 2 weeks after this song was released. People call me a historian, but I am not, I do however, have a keen interest in History and particularly the human side of the Holocaust and World War 2. Other then that I love music and movies.
