Hollywoodreporter_logo_2003The Hollywood Reporter.com reports that a creative marketing pact between the Independent Film Channel and Grammy-winning band Green Day will be announced today "to merge the band’s song "Jesus of Suburbia" into the film channel’s on- and off-air promotions and programming through 2005. IFC said the deal will allow "Jesus" — a 9-minute, 8-second rock anthem off the band’s album "American Idiot," which won the Grammy last month for best rock album — to be heard in its entirety without being "torn apart and hacked into commercial radio-friendly segments." " ‘Jesus of Suburbia’ is the ultimate articulation of our national zeitgeist — it speaks perfectly to the anxiety, emotions and passions of our audience," said Evan Shapiro, general manager and executive vp at IFC."
