Seven Things You Probably Didn't Know About Green Day Before Billie Joe Armstrong Got Twitter
And my cat really did get caught in the dryer in deadbeat holiday
First punk show I was supposed to go to was Circle Jerks at the Mab in SF when I was 14. But I was grounded and couldn't go. Ugh..
39/smooth was named after my brother. He turned 39 the day we recorded that LP. Dec 29 1989.
Smooth was a stoner thing between me and mike. We couldn't decide to call it 39 or smooth. So we went with both!
3. Why that song -- you know, Green Day's breakout single -- is called "Longview."
Our friend/roadie Kaz Hope, suggested we call our song Longview because the 1st time we played was in Longview Washington in spring 1992
Judges Daughter is about a "judges daughter" back in hi school. Had a crush on her and I thought her dad would throw me in prison.
First time in new york was summer of 90. We couldn't get a gig. Only drove through. Went to 53rd and 3rd and left.
I snuck in a Dickies show in 89 @ berkeley square. Licked a hand stamp and rubbed it on my hand. Great gig! Thanks eggplant!
I will be performing in my bedrOom by myself in front of my dog and stuffed animals. no charge and no guest list. Tickets still available!
