Peeples, it's been over a week since the H50 finale, and since I haven't seen it yet, I can only assume that I've somehow completely missed the posting of a vid to Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day, because it is simply impossible that no one has made one yet. IMPOSSIBLE! (say with French accent)
Remember the 90s, when that song was everywhere, and you totally rolled your eyes at how trite and predictable (heh) a choice it was? And you wanted to mime vomiting when it showed up over and over again as the theme for every graduation home video and TV funeral for like two years straight, and even the end of Seinfeld? (And it was a totally lame song anyway, because everyone knew Green Day was best before they got popular, when you used to go see them at Gilman for two bucks?) But it's been over a decade, and now we can like that song without shame! And anyway, I gave up shame for good sometime around the time I wrote a story about ass ducklings, so.
But you have to see that it is completely and totally the perfect song for where the show left off, because it works for everyone. Chin! Kono! Steve! Danny! OMG it works for Danny from like seventy million different angles--okay, fine: two. Which means it also works for Rachel and Gracie!
You guys, I can't even tell you how much I wish I were a vidder right now, because I would make the sappiest vid full of LOOKS and SMILES and stuff run all slow-motion so you'd know it is IMPORTANT, and shots of Steve's tattoos OBVS, and I would just wallow in it.
