From: http://Of all the up-and-coming and currently popular bands, Green Day is one of the few that is openly anti-war. Their latest album is a protest against the current war. Some of their beliefs and out-spoken lyrics have put them in the category of 'anti-government' and 'anti-authority'; however its not govenment as a whole they are protesting to. Just the current one and the grave mistakes they feel the President is making.
