Besides being political activists and a great band Green Day are also good guys. Since they made a classy act on a show yesterday, February 8, in a show at London.The punk rockers were playing at the O2 Arena in London, as part of their UK/Ireland 2017 tour.

Green party.

Despite all of this emotional moment frontman Billie Joel Armstrong is still worried by the future of the U.S. Since he sees Trump’s politics as acts of terror, as he told in an interview to Rolling Stones magazine: “The executive orders Trump is signing feels like a vendetta. Trump is not only taking out his revenge on the people who protested him, but also the average American that just didn’t vote for him.”

“These reckless decisions on healthcare, Muslim-Americans, immigration, environmental protection, freedom of speech, freedom of press, women’s right to choose what to do with their bodies, suggesting sending in the feds to Chicago .. are signs of a man that is trying to redefine what it is that keeps our common union as Americans..”
