When punk-rock band Green Day decided to move their music from post-grunge radio friendly hits to a more politically tinged writing style, very few people would have predicted the enormous amount of success and recognition that this would bring to the band. It’s always a risk when a band moves into the political realm, for various and often obvious reasons (just ask Sinead O’Connor about her Saturday Night Live appearance), but Green Day’s 2005 album American Idiot is a genuine attempt from the band to discuss current events surrounding politics and more specifically war. One of the most prominent anti-war songs on the album is the hit single “Holiday.”
The song is still performed live in concert by the band, and is often setup with a political announcement by lead singer and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong. One of the most famous instances of this approach can be heard on the album Bullet in a Bible, where Armstrong introduces the song by saying “This next song’s a big ‘fuck you’ to all the politicians. This song’s called Holiday! This song is not anti-American; it’s anti-war!” Regardless of your political views or beliefs, it’s hard to argue that “Holiday” isn’t a great song, and one of the most successful singles ever released by Green Day during their long and prominent careers.
