Dookie, Nate

It's nice to revisit something from the past and realize that it was as good as you thought, that you were right all along, and those who doubted you have aged poorly and you will remain golden and pure forever. "She" stood out then and levitates above now. You can hear what would come after, out there in the margins of "Welcome to Paradise," and you can understand how the well ran dry after a while, but this ground is forever fertile and the oil is forever flowing in the frozen now of "In the End." Green Day were really doing it for a minute there, and so were we.
