Billie Joe Armstrong can recall when his world went to hell in a handcart. It hasn't been the same since Bowie's death,' he rages on Strange Days Are Here To Stay, a track on Green Day's 14th album.' Whatever it's global instability or just his late-running Uber, the punk veteran traces all his problems back to his hero's death in January 2016. There is no evidence that the Thin White Duke is directly responsible. Armstrong's lyrics are full of indignation, but there is also humour in play. The song, which is fueled by twin harmony guitars that recall Thin Lizzy, is one of the most memorable on an album that sticks to familiar punk-pop styles while still adding a few unexpected twists. Saviors is a step up from Father Of All..., a sad series of puerile gags and low on imagination. For the first time in 125 years, Green Day has been rejuvenated. Cavallo appeared on the band's 1994 breakthrough album, Dookie, and 2004's epic American Idiote, and he adds a thumping punch to the 15 new songs on the band's new albums.

Mike Dirnt, a co-founder of Green Day, reacted angrily to the band's decision to change the lyrics to their 2004 protest anthem American Idiot. Billie Joe Armstrong, frontman of the band's Rockin' Eve show, sang, "I'm not part of a MAGA program." Rather than "I'm not part of a redneck campaign," the band's Rockin' Eve showman performed, "I'm not involved in a MAGA campaign." The change seemed to be a dig at Donald Trump and his slogan during his 2016 presidential campaign and beyond: 'Make America Great Again.'

However, the band's anti-Trump songs were shown to more than the band's regular followers thanks to their live appearance and subsequent social media posting. The band's supporters had raged the group, with some even accusing them of selling out.
