CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Britain’s The Sun reports:



Green Day fans are campaigning to get “American Idiot” to Number 1 in time for Donald Trump’s visit to the UK. The scheme was announced in January last year but has gained momentum after the President confirmed he was making a “working visit” to Britain on July 13.

A statement said: “We have a date, he’s coming Friday 13th July… so if we ALL buy enough downloads of Green Day’s ‘American Idiot’ between Friday 6th-Thursday 12th it will time PERFECTLY to hit No.1 the very day he arrives on UK soil! Streaming counts too but less effective. Let’s do this!”

Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong hasn’t hidden his hatred of Trump and led chants against him at the American Music Awards last year.
