Yeah the guys a blooming idiot and an Asshole
No need for a disclaimer. Prince once said that he had two souls living in his brain and he was still trying to determine their genders. If we had to discount music purely for behavior at least %10 of the hall would be null and void.
I also would go so far as to say that I like every Cars album I’ve heard (which admittedly is not all of them) more than American Idiot. I also find the title song extremely obnoxious.
