I have two questions I asked myself since a few weeks.

First: Does anyone know if Adie is smoking?

Secondly: Is Adie religious? Or Billie? Caus the names Joey and Jakob of the kids sound pretty religious and they are part of the bible.

For me it sounds like Adie choose both of the first names Jakob and Joseph and Billie the second names Danger or Mariccano?

Or am I wrong?

Would be cool if someone give answers.

[yourmumgoestocollege]

It would be R.

There are a lot of swears, drugs, and a sex scene.

Not recommended for a 12 year old unless they are a diehard fan.

Nah if they put it at a R/18 they would lose alot of sells knowing the business they will change stuff to make a more of a 12 age range as 12+ is there fan range

I've no answer for the first question unfortunately.

And with the 2nd I've no idea about Adie's religious beliefs, but Billie isn't religious. I don't think he's come out as a definite atheist but with a song like East Jesus Nowhere he's certainly not a god fearing christian. The name Joey was a tribute to Joey Ramone, as for Jacob I'm not sure.

About the Joey Ramone thing, I've NEVER heard Billie say he was named after Joey Ramone. But there's an old radio interview where he and Tre were asked if they named Joey and Ramona after him and they both said no way and that it'd be lame. So I don't think he's named after Joey Ramone, we don't have any evidence that he is anyway.

Marciano was Billie's dad's middle name. So just guessing but it's possible they named him using Billie's middle name (Joe) along with Billie's dad's middle name. Or another reason, or no particular reason.

billie definitely said that joey was named after joey ramone.

[Hermione]

billie definitely said that joey was named after joey ramone.

Where though? I've never heard it. I've seen plenty of 'fact' lists etc that say he is but never a quote from Billie. I've only heard Billie say he isn't.

[Satan]

i can;t remember at all, but it could have been from a 'fact' list. so i guess you're right, we can't know for sure.

[Laura!]

I thought I heard Marciano came from Billie's father.

I could be wrong though.

[Hermione]

i can;t remember at all, but it could have been from a 'fact' list. so i guess you're right, we can't know for sure.

Yeah I've read it written in articles and lists of facts and stuff so many times I always just assumed it was true. But then I heard that interview where he said he wasn't named after him and realized I'd never actually heard him say he was. I think it's just something that people/the media assume because he likes the Ramones.

Oh yeah it definitely does. I'm just guessing on the Joe part though.

i see. well, i'm glad we got that sorted out.

I recall he somewhere said it was a tradition with his wife's family to name the first son after his grandfather.

[Florence]

Secondly: Is Adie religious? Or Billie?

In an article in Kerrang, Billie mentioned that he's agnostic.

question: "Do you believe in God?"

I believe in the last prayer just before you're about to die. You may as well hedge your bets. If no-one's up there, then it makes no difference. If there is, then it makes no difference. If there is, then it can't hurt. I don't really know if I believe in God, though, I guess I'm agnostic.

[Savannah89]

Thanks guys for the quick answers.

Well I heard Joey was named Marcicano not Marciano but thats not my question.

I just ask myself if adie chose jakob and joseph or billie chose danger and marcicano. or maybe both.

but about the smoking thing: Does anyone know? My friend thought adie smokes I say no.

[BillieJoe727]

I've heard the saying "love happened here" and I know it has something to do with AI. I am just lost as to what it means.

Could someone help me out please?

During Last of the American Girls/She's a Rebel, Whatsername throws around a bunch of small pink flyers that say "Love Happened Here on May 5th"

uh, you clearly haven't seen it.

Ohh I see, I just assumed it was a Ramones tribute. Never actually thought to check. I'm sure if it wasn't the real reason it might have been a deciding factor. Though does he call him Joey or Joseph technically?

Oh okay. Thanks so much

[Savannah89]

@Dominated LoveSlave: His name is Joseph but he calls him Joey if I´m right.

[Hermione]

It's technically Joseph (Billie has that tattooed on his arm), but I think he's always predominantly been known as Joey. I suppose there's loads of possible factors in them choosing the name, but if that was one of them you'd think he would've said that was part of the reason when he was asked instead of just saying no.

Thanks guys for the quick answers.

The only way we'd know who chose the names is if Billie had mentioned it in an interview, pretty sure he never has. And the only way we'd know whether she smokes is if someone happened to see her smoking or she happened to mention it. Billie smokes so who knows, she might or she might not. So basically no one knows these things.

[Savannah89]

Thanks Hermione.

What I also ask myself: Who gave Blue to Billie? Was it Andy before he died or Ollie as early christmas present?

[Anja]

Thanks Hermione.

It was Andy. And if I remember right, it was a birthday or christmas gift, something like that.
