American Idiot and the Jesus of Suburbia

Written By Vivian Asimos

This week, Aled and Vivian talk about Green Day’s album American Idiot, and in particular the figure of the Jesus of Suburbia. We talk about protest music, American nationalist myths, the connections between religion and politics, and how graffiti is the holy scripture of the shopping mall.
