The American Paul McPike has filed a lawsuit against GREEN DAY claiming that he wrote their entire American Idiot album.
McPike who works in a grocery store in Oregon claims that he wrote the material when he was a teenager in college and used to perform the songs in front of his friends. McPike alleges that a disgruntled friend leaked the material to GREEN DAY.
However, the case will not be going to court yet after a District Judge ruled that it had insufficient evidence. McPike handed in a what he claims is a copy of the album with differing lyrics to those on the sleeve notes. He was told to report back if he managed to collect a more detailed pile of evidence.
