So I downloaded and checked out the Green Day Rock Band demo today. After playing through the demo’s two songs, Boulevard of Broken Dreams and Welcome to Paradise, there were a couple of ads about Green Day Rock Band, and then the last ad was the above image (except this one is from the 360 demo apparently). As you can see, there is a icon now that appears to be that of a keyboard. Thus, it is correct to assume (as most of the internet community has done as well) that Rock Band 3 will support a new plastic instrument in the form of a keyboard.
This could be fun, since keyboards are one of those instruments that everyone plays as a child. Also, I can see the keyboard being integrated more functionally in it’s true essence as opposed to the guitar. Also, what songs will there be? Will we be getting a Billy Joel Rock Band? Only time will tell…

Yeah, I know I haven’t done much on here the past couple of days. I have to excuses for that.
For starters, I’m finally working. Tomorrow will be my third day as a substitute teacher. So far I’ve worked as a TA for an autistic student and I’ve subbed for a Russian class (as in the language). Both experiences were interesting, but I’ll get into more detail in a future blog.
My other (somewhat lamer) excuse is that my laptop keyboard is falling apart. The s button barely works, and since it is a letter that is used extremely frequently, it aggravates the crud out of me to type for too long. However, I ordered a replacement keyboard from ebay today, so I will be fixing that little annoyance soon.
I am working tomorrow (subbing as a TA again), but I will try to sit down when I get home and start working on a blog detailing my first three days of subbing. All I know is that it feels good to be bringing home the bacon, and not totally bumming of Shell!
