Lushotology is a religious parody, based on the belief that you should sit around all the time and drink. It was created by The Foxboro Hot Tubs. The Foxboro Hot Tubs is an American rock n' roll band. The group made its debut in December 2007 with three songs on their website. Soon after, the Foxboro Hot Tubs were discovered and subsequently made headlines, being heralded as the next secret side project of Green Day, [http://www.nme.com/news/green-day/35558 Green Day side project releases new single] "NME - April 1, 2008] which was later confirmed by the band themselves. [ [http://www.greendayauthority.com/ Green Day Authority, a dedicated fan site.] ] Billie Joe Armstrong told NME magazine: "The only similarity between Green Day and Foxboro Hot Tubs is that we are the same band." [NME, 3rd May 2008] His reasons for starting the band, also told to NME magazine, were that they "love to play music and be spontaneous, and after a few late-night jams and a few too many bottles of wine, we were inspired to record some rockin' eight-track recordings." [NME, 3rd May 2008] In a similar manner to other side project The Network, Billie Joe has adopted an alter ego for Foxboro Hot Tubs - Reverend Strychnine Twitch, the inventor of Lushotology. [Kerrang! June 7th 2008] "Strychnine Twitch" is also mentioned in the lyrics to the title track, Stop Drop And Roll: "Sixteen and a son of a bitch/got a gun and a strychnine twitch". As is Lushotology mentioned in lyrics of the song Broadway: "You're spillin' all the wine, now/ on Hollywood and Vine, now/ It's Lushotology!"
