Many of us grew up listening to Green Day, their protest music with songs of American Idiot, Holiday, 99 Revolutions, Too Dumb Too Die, and countless more. Talking about wealth disparages, the unrest of the country in economic failure. Many Green Day fans already have been priced out, but tickets on face value being over 5k at the Yaamava' Resort & Casino. Draws the line in the sand. This band had gave us the lessons to protest, our rebel spirit. 

On the contrary All American Rejects have been protesting these predatory practices. With their small show tours, in backyards, bowling, etc. If we were able to get AAR to play the Yaamava parking lot showing that this is not okay. 

Green Day claims to be the the father of pop punk, but with these practices forgets where they came from. The diy style of the East Bay. As myself defended Green Day in the past with selling out, I believed there is a difference between selling out and stability. What possible financial stability comes from a 5k seat? What is Crush trying to show here? In this economy? Even if it's a benefit show, these should be marketed as a private event as this sends the tone deaf message opposite they have been telling us all these years. 

AAR are in fact doing what they preach fighting back. We believe showing by example, and showing even though we are fans of Green Day. In fact we are so much of fans of Green Day, we learned from their songs. We want AAR to come out and play in protest.
