jengd Posted April 20, 2022 Posted April 20, 2022 It’s a great price but not a great pic. I don’t understand why he would pick that one, Billie is almost snarling. 2

BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 That's a very interesting article. I'm surprised they've sacked PM and only then started looking into other options. That makes it look like a less well planned action than it seemed previously. I'm also surprised they've considered self-managing after they've already tried that once and realized it didn't work out. It would require a lot of investment to create an in-house management team - hiring more lawyers, accountants, managers etc... And then they've settled for a company that got them a) sponsorships and licensing deals, b) a never ending festival run (low costs on their side) c) a package tour. Recouping losses? I'd really want to know how they were/are doing economically. 2

I'd really want to know how they were/are doing economically. I never thought it was planned out because Pat left in the middle of a major arena tour. That just doesn’t happen unless there’s some big unexpected shakeups and we know on that tour there were at least two (Glasgow and Madrid) and possibly others we don’t know about. The switch happened shortly after. I agree it was very surprising to read that they even considered managing themselves again but they must have felt the mishandling was so bad that they could have looked after themselves better. In the moment of stress I’m sure they thought that and I’m glad the lawyer talked them out of it. It’s never a good idea, even if they think they’ve learned a few things and have more resources since 1996. They do seem to have a desire to be as independent as possible it seems, they know the industry is so full of bloodsuckers a bad choice can really cost you and by now they do know a lot about the business themselves. But stick to the music and let the other professionals do their jobs. 8

But stick to the music and let the other professionals do their jobs. I thought it was probably a combination of the cancelled show and whoever made the decision not to tell the band about the acrobat being killed. I always thought, even if they had known and organisers and the police had decided they had to keep the festival going, at least they could have done things differently but they just carried on in ignorance which didn’t look great, could have been the final straw, who knows. Interesting article though, thanks for sharing @That Dude. 4 1

desertrose Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 Billie Joe Armstrong Reacts to Seeing Dwight + Andy Cover Green Day on ‘The Office’ https://loudwire.com/billie-joe-armstrong-reaction-dwight-andy-cover-green-day-the-office/ 40 Graduation Songs to Add to Your Playlist, from Beyoncé to Green Day 9. “(Good Riddance) Time of Your Life” by Green Day Standout lyrics: It's something unpredictable / But in the end, it's right / I hope you had the time of your life Fun fact: This song was inspired by Billie Joe Armstrong’s girlfriend after she moved away. But because of its nostalgic lyrics, the track became a staple at high school proms and graduations. https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/graduation-songs 1
