Green Day - Saturday night in PHX

Phoenix New Times Music Editor Martin Cizmar shares his love of all things 1994 - including his assessment that Green Day's Dookie "...was the last true splash rock 'n' roll has made in a way that's artistically, culturally, and commercially significant."

Probably true dat, but I missed a lot of the '90s US style while living in Europe during those heady years. Still, I'm inclined to think that Green Day has surpassed that cultural/musical milestone twice - with American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown. Dookie is/was essential but I bet the band's fans would agree they've taken good steps forward.

Green Day rocks Phoenix this Saturday night with Franz Ferdinand opening - I think all tickets are sold. Check Craigslist for latecomers.
