Why don't they go green?

I mean, why the hell not?

It's always red.

I wanna see green.

I'm not talking about DTOM specifically, I just mean why the hell--considering how into "the green" they are--they haven't put the color green into any album?!

this may be true, but I think that those two lines at least were written at different times and have to be taken as statements in the now.

311 seems to live their life in the now...so point of view can change from statement to statement...especially in lyrics

I don't think that many people have picked up on this yet...

In the 311 Interview thing from 311 day... SA described writing the song "Whiskey & Wine" on his acoustic guitar. He said that he got the name from staring at his guitar which was gold and reddish and to him it looked like whiskey and wine.

The two main colors on the DTOM cover are gold and red...

Coincidence? -- You decide.

that would be the greatest thing ever

holy shit ska, that is a great ass idea

but i think too many ppl would be like oh your trying to be like nelly with sweat (dancers) suit (slow songs)

$ayzak · Post by **$ayzak** » Wed Jun 22, 2005 1:22 pm

who the else would associate 311 with nelly?

Anyway, I would love to see this color green dominate a CD.

Green is supposed to be refreshing...
