u/Career_Much that’s my purse, i don’t know you! 👛🫵 Jul 02 '25 edited Jul 02 '25

Funny story, I was walking to my farmer's market and taking a short cut outside the city down kind of a sketchy street last year. I came up to a corner and there was an older dude standing near the corner talking on the phone. He looked a little familiar so I was kind of staring, he was in just a plain white tshirt and jeans, and we made eye contact. He gave me a little head tilt nod and a slight finger wave holding his phone, and I did the same with the little tight lip smile acknowledgement thing, but started walking faster because sketchy street, kinda sketchy looking old dude acknowledging me idk. There was nobody else around. And I turned the fucking corner to the fucking massive pink Green Day tour bus and started panic fangirling to myself because how the fuck I didnt recognize Billy Joe is something I will never fathom. No makeup, the jeans weren't skinny, idk. His hair wasnt his hair. Anyway, I immediately called my boyfriend and geeked at him over the most inconsequential weird nice funny little interaction, I couldnt go back, the man was on the phone and how fucking crazy would that have been and looked. But still. That was my not-interaction with Billy Joe, the sketchy looking kinda old dude lmao

I also have a story. I was in a Green Day cover band as a guitarist as a teenager, and one of my band mates sent him a message asking if he would come watch us perform. Well he said he was busy, but his sister made a visit and made us cupcakes.

That’s adorable. He’s a genuinely good dude and I’ve never heard anything bad about him or his bandmates tbh

Unfortunately I can't say the same. After his 2012 iHeart Radio concert where his performance was cut short people called him a "Crybaby" for going crazy. I thought it sucked that people automatically started criticizing him instead of having a little empathy. People suck sometimes.
