Billie Joe worked at Nantucket restaurant in Crockett

No, it was Mike. He bought his first proper bass guitar with his first paycheck. He worked as a clam shucker there from 1988 to late 1991 as I recall. Billie flipped pizzas and sold newspaper subscriptions.

1. His birth name really is Billie Joe, not something like William Joseph. His parents loved singer Billy Joel and were members of the Piano Man’s fan club.

Mike recorded the album with Screeching Weasel in 9 days from June 14th to June 24th, 1994. During this time he flew out to NY and back to tape the Letterman show with Green Day. He never performed live with SW though.

Green Day recorded a John Lennon song for a CD compilation to raise funds for Amnesty International.

Green Day donates all royalties from the iTunes sales of their single ‘Boulevard Of Broken Dreams’ to help victims of the Asian tsunami through the International Red Cross.
