If he's comparing it to Oakland, then there's no question: there is no bigger cesspool shithole than Oakland. But it seems the gimp is upset about "his Oakland A's" abandoning that dump and eventually moving to LV.

But is LV really the shithole he says it is? That depends where the comment's coming from and who's saying it. The place certainly has massive social problems, a lousy education system and poor healthcare. IE, I would never want to LIVE there. But if that stuff doesn't enter your equation, then the city does have its draws.

It seems odd an entertainer wouldn't like the place. But girly-men like Armstrong tend to be all over the map anyway.
Rob's not too far off here, actually.

Green Day always annoyed me. Some of their music is catchy in that 90s/early 2000s sort of way, but I've always laughed at how an effeminate dude in eyeliner postures as the epitome of cool.

Yes, he's bitter about the A's gong to Vegas because he grew up in Oakland. He got to see the McGwire/Canseco years (he and I are the same age), and now is frustrated that the team owner put a shit team out there for years, and subsequently left the city.

There's no reason to take it out on Vegas, though. Oakland is much worse.

Dude also regularly bashed Americans (despite being one himself), as if he were above and more enlightened than everyone else in the country.




Watch this video, and Billie looks like he's about to flap his wrists and fly off the screen. He also looks like he's about 90 pounds. Is this really what passed for cool in those days?

In general, I laugh at corporate-produced protest-against-the-establishment anthems.
