Who Wrote Holden Caulfield is a song off of Green Day's album "Kerplunk". It talk about a fictional character from "The Catcher in the Rye". His name is Holden Caulfield. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong feels that he shared a lot of the same characteristics as Holden. He expresses this through the chorus, which says "There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy."
I would rate this song a 4/5, because it is a very good song lyrically, but better audio engineering could have made this a 5/5 for me. Since this was produced while the band was still with an underground label, it did not have the sound of a major record. Other than that, I like how Green Day was able to relate to a book character.
