		<description>Yeah interesting. I will look out for it.

It reminds me of the Green Day concept album &quot;American Idiot&quot;. It has same themes of searching for meaning. The plot seems to be about a man called (bizarrely) &quot;Jesus of Suburbia&quot;. He leaves home after coming to a personal crisis, stating &quot;I don&#039;t care if you don&#039;t care!&quot; and goes to the big city. He there meets a drug dealer called &quot;St. Jimmy&quot; and Jimmy&#039;s girlfriend called &quot;Whatshername&quot;. Jesus eventually realizes Jimmy is his alter-ego. After a second personal crisis, Jimmy commits suicide and leaving Jesus back to his question &quot;does anyone care, if nobody cares?&quot;. He then returns home and reminisces on he whole experience. Although Jesus wonders if Whatshername is OK, the last line is &quot;I&#039;ll never turn back time, Forgetting you, but not the time&quot;.

Another common aspect is the albums digressions and highly subjective meaning being in a very compressed and abstract form (of punk rock). The plot I have expressed could be completely wrong!
