Music loses its edge in 'American Idiot' play By Jim Harrington
It's not punk rock. It's barely rock 'n' roll. It's just big, loud, bland and intended for mass consumption. It's the equivalent of Green Day night on TV's 'American Idol.' Where once there was fine Gouda, now there's only pre-packaged Velveeta. In other words, it should do big business once it finally reaches Broadway.
