  For nearly two decades, Green Day has been surprising and delighting fans around the world, from their days as high school kids in the band Sweet Children, whose first gig was at a local rib joint, to the heights of success as Green Day, who now fill stadiums around the world. This book traces the band's evolution, with interviews and first-hand accounts that offer insight into the music scene that set the stage for one band to go to the top of the charts while keeping their punk banner flying high. In 2006, Green Day won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year for Boulevard of Broken Dreams [15] which spent 16 weeks at the number one position of Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks.
