Green Day is making headlines for a second day after ABC failed to delete expletives from an appearance on "Good Morning America" on Friday.
The band, which has the No. 1 selling CD in the country, was in the news Thursday for taking Wal-Mart to task for not selling its new album, "21st Century Breakdown" because of explicit lyrics.
Green Day was performing its classic hit "Longview" on GMA when the network allowed two expletives to be broadcast as the Central Park crowd sang along.
ABC did not comment immediately.
Green Day is currently locked in a feud with Wal-Mart, saying the retailing giant refused to stock its latest CD, "21st Century Breakdown," because the band refused to edit the album for language and content.
"Wal-Mart's become the biggest retail outlet in the country, but they won't carry our record because they wanted us to censor it," frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said recently, though Wal-Mart is actually asking for a separate "clean" version of the CD in addition to the regular version.
Armstrong interprets that as "censorship."
"They want artists to censor their records in order to be carried in there," he said. "We just said no. We've never done it before. You feel like you're in 1953 or something."
