Sam Freeman visits the Gateway to talk about the album "Dookie" by Green Day. Sam explains how, as a preadolescent in Ottawa, Canada, the alienation expressed in the album reflected his burgeoning feelings of being an outsider. And then ironically when he moved to Berlin it was that same music of alienation that helped him make friends, create art, find a girlfriend, and most importantly belong. Along the way he and Howard talk about the other titans of mid-90s California Pop-Punk and then they share songs that make them feel a satisfying feeling of being sadly in love.
