Good Morning America Hilariously Fails to Censor Green Day's "Longview"

Green Day

This is one of the funnier things that I’ve seen lately. To kick off Memorial Day Weekend 2009, ABC’s Good Morning America _booked Green Day to perform a few of their classic songs. For some reason or another, when Green Day started to play “Longview” the _Good Morning America staff forgot to bleep out a couple of Billie Joe Armstrong’s choice words. A couple of S-bombs and F-bombs make it through.

On a side note, what’s up with there being soccer moms and 8 year olds at a Green Day concert? Back in the 90’s, Green Day was an in your face punk rock band. Since then, I guess they’ve really softened up and/or sold out.
