Ten days! The Rhapsody Green Day Super Awesome Twitter Contest has rounded the bend and is heading for home. Tomorrow is the day when the rest of the world gets to hear Green Day's new LP, 21st Century Breakdown, but for a while we've been lucky to have it all for ourselves. Truthfully, part of us is a little sad to share it with the world, but if you love something, you do indeed have to set it free. We digress! Let's get on with dispensing today's spoils.
We wanted to know who you would cast in the lead roles of Christian and Gloria -- the main characters from 21st Century Breakdown. We asked you to tweet us your creative and witty answers to Rhapsody's Twitter feed in order to win today's big prize, a Logitech Squeezebox Boom. (These things are rad. In fact, Wellington, the really friendly guy who delivers the coffee to the Rhapsody office was eying the one that plays tunes in the office kitchen this morning. No kidding. If he followed us on Twitter maybe he could have won this. I feel bad now realizing that I forgot to tell him that at the time. Shucks.)
The winner, asajjad2, offered this bit of advice for the casting call:
def not 2 lame movie stars. They wouldnt do justice. Gloria=bay area greenday lovin activist like me chris=street kid from Oakland
We love punks. We love activists! And (even though they hassle us for change on the way home from work every day) we love the street kids of Oakland. So, congratulations, asajjad2! You are today's champion. Tomorrow is the final day of the Twitter contest and your last chance to win! Good luck to all!
