This B101.7 Flashback Friday spotlight finds a punk-rock band traveling down the road of broken dreams to find a hit song and a Grammy Award!

We're featuring Green Day and their song of despair, 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams.' It comes from the album American Idiot which features this character called Jesus of Suburbia. In it, the character has runaway to a new town and is feeling the 'hangover' after the initial party.

The awards followed this release. First MTV named it Video of the Year in 2005. Then, in early 2006 the ultimate prize, a Grammy Award for Record of the Year.
