 | March 3rd, 2007 at 02:16pm On the old GSB there was a possible meaning for this song claiming that it was based on an actual "86'd list" which George Bush was added to at the same time as Green Day.
Does anyone have more information about this list? |

| March 5th, 2007 at 10:45pm I know its about Gilman, but on the old GSB it said that Gilman Street released a list known as the "86'd" list of people banned from shows.
That may just be a rumour about George Bush though |

Why would George Bush be banned from Gilman Street? Well, maybe he is. But I don't see him every going there anyways.
It was probably a joke. But Green Day have been on the list since.. they signed to a major label. |

it's my point of view, anyway, =) |
