Song #11 on Green Day's American Idiot CD. It is NOT about returning to school, this song is about Billie Joe Armstrong's father dying. This is the first song in which he confronted this issue, and I think it probably did him some good. However, I don't know him personally, so I can't say for sure. Green Day dedicated this song to the Hurricane Katrina victims at the concert I went to. A damn good song too.
"Blow me up Tom" is the official exit of callers on the Tom Leykis show, a syndicated national radio program that airs in the afternoon/evening. The request is followed by an explosion sound and then the call is terminated.
That's all I have to say, thanks for taking my call. Blow me up, Tom!
