When They Come AroundBy P. Scott CunninghamPublished on July 30, 2009 at 3:01amGreen Day has come a long way from a couple of 15-year-olds in Berkeley, California, smoking too much weed. Originally a teenage punk band called Sweet Children, the band has constantly re-invented itself over its 22-year existence (a virtual eternity in rock 'n' roll), winning new fans, losing old ones, and then regaining the old ones and losing the new ones. They've also pissed off a number of their influences, including Johnny Lydon, who was aghast that Green Day referred to themselves as punk, and some younger rock stars who bristle at alleged thievery (Noel Gallagher, Brandon Flowers).
