MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

Released on this day in 1995…

Green Day followed up Dookie…

with their fourth album…

Insomniac.

(Music Cut #2)

For the album cover…

Green Day turned to artist Winston Smith…

who created this pretty bizarre collage.

He spent more than 48 hours in a row…

working on it.

(Music Cut #3)

Billie Joe Armstrong asked him…

how he managed to stay awake for so long.

His explanation?

He was an insomniac.

And just like that…

Green Day had a name…

for their new album.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“My mind is set on overdrive
The clock is laughin’ in my face
A crooked spine, my senses dulled
Past the point of delirium.” – Green Day “Brain Stew”
