Alanis Morissette Covers Green Day
posted in: Music News • Pop • Rock
If that headline caught your attention, then you are probably reading this because you are either: A. an Alanis Morissette fan, B. a Green Day fan, or C. terribly confused and/or curious. Chances are the majority of you fall within the latter if not the first two or all of the above.
Yes, Alanis Morissette recently performed as the musical guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live and yes, she decided to close the show with her own version of Green Day’s “Basket Case.” The soft soothing ballad rendition is simultaneously funny yet touching, as she mentions at the end of her performance, “We love you Billie Joe!” It seems as though the singer was paying homage and showing support for her fellow 90’s alt-rock star after he recently admitted to and checked into rehab for substance abuse. It was a kind gesture on Morissette’s part, and a surprisingly fitting cover.
