Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong Has Declared He Is Moving To The UK After Roe V Wade Was Overturned

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong is doing what so many disenfranchised and fed up Americans have said they wanted to do, leave.

The "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" performer is putting his money where his mouth is and actually moving to the UK after the straw that broke the camel's back, the overturning of Roe v Wade, and renouncing his American citizenship. During a concert in London on Friday, just hours after the decision by SCOUTUS to revoke a woman's right to choose to have an abortion, Armstrong said to the concert goers:

"F*** America."

To reiterate his decision, the 50-year old told the audience:

"There's too much f***ing stupid in the world to go back to that miserable f**king excuse for a country...Oh, I'm not kidding, you're going to get a lot of me in the coming days."

This comes as no surprise as he and bandmates Mike Dirnt and Frank Edwin Wright III aka Tré Cool wrote the 2004 hit album American Idiot, later made into a popular broadway musical, which rallied against so much of the United States hypocrisy and injustices, which was inspired by the attacks on 9/11 which lead to the reelection of former President George W. Bush. 

According to Greenday.fm:

"The title of the song is referring to the author's opinion that these days politicians and the media are telling us what to do, what to buy, what to believe in. We are constantly being subliminally mind-fucked by commercials, campaigns and reality TV. They turn us into idiots with no individuality.

"In this song, the narrator is saying that he doesn't want his nation to be turned into complete idiots, he doesn't want his country to be led by a redneck president ('I'm not a part of a redneck agenda'), doesn't want people to be convinced that it's right to hate someone because of their sexual preferences ('maybe I'm the faggot America'), doesn't want the nation to be isolated and detested because of stupid decisions that the government makes ('Welcome to a new kind of tension, all across the alienation')."

"This song is an overview of the album's most important ideas, as well as a sort of a warning calling out to the people across the country: don't let them take away your personality, don't let them turn you into Idiot America."

With all of the chaos in the US at the moment, the old saying holds true:

"The more things change, the more things stay the same."
