Congratulations to Billie Joe Armstrong and Green Day for their Grammy nomination for the Broadway score of American Idiot! The band scored two Grammys for their original album, so wouldn't this be a nice one to add to the collection?

This is the second time in two years that a Berkeley Rep show was nominated for a Grammy. Last year, Carrie Fisher was nominated for the audio book of Wishful Drinking.

In related American Idiot news, Billie's joining the Broadway cast on January 1 for another turn as St. Jimmy.

Comments:

That's the coolest thing to see a grunge punk rock band go from grunge punk to writing professional scores and wining Grammys.

Congratulations Green Day.
