Song of the Day 12/2: Green Day, “Brain Stew”

Trump’s rapid unraveling is getting hard to ignore, but I’m not seeing many stories about the man-child rage-tweeting into the wee hours to spout ever-more-incredulous fabblegab. My personal favorite: in the waning days of Biden’s administration, Michelle Obama wielded the Nefarious Autopen to “pardon key individuals.”

Maybe he should take something for that insomnia. That’s what caused Billy Joe Armstrong’s brain stew, too, but his was brought on by a new baby and amphetamines, and at least he got a song out of it for Green Day’s “Insomnia” album in 1995. All we’ve got is a demolished White House and a tattered Constitution.
