This is funny.

Paul McPike, a 30-ish grocery store employee from Medford, OR , has filed a lawsuit charging that Green Day's 'American Idiot' album is entirely made up of songs that he wrote when he was in high school. McPike says that he used to regale his high school pals with the "original" versions of 'Jesus of Suburbia' and other classics back in 1992, and believes that some devious ex-pal surreptitiously recorded one of his performances and traded them to Billie Joe Armstrong and co. for 30 pieces of silver (or at least unlimited access to Green Day's backstage deli trays).
