Billie Emails The American Idiot Tour Cast

[whatsup?]

This is so lovely ...and this is so Billie Joe....

....it was special to read this... and well, yesss, ... that PS!!!!

[DoodleBob]

Either is this fake or Billie now spells like he's British. "Labour"

I noticed that too.

Mabe he's trying to be more like British people. He does like to fake British accents.

[Bam-Itz-GreenDay]

Thats an awesome letter. I loved the little backstory to AI... i never knew WMUWSE was the first song..cool

[HitmonSal]

For some reason reading"Take it on your own personal journey and rally up the demons of your soul" made my eyes fill up with tears.

i blame hormones.

[Heather.]

dude, someone still has prodigy???

If that's Billie, I'm picturing him handing over his business card... "Billie Joe Armstrong. Child prodigy."

Also, we know he hardly learned to spell in school, so perhaps his British spelling of labour just reflects that he never really learned what's right and maybe he's seen that more or something.

[Satan]

this was so nice

*fangirl* *fangirl* *fangirl* *fangirl* *fangirl*

I actually started it to read it to the rhythm of Know Your Enemy.

[Annie, get your gun]

I want to know about the ps too

But anyway, this letter is adorable enough Too bad that I'm never going to see the show...

[miragots]

This is so awesome! <3 it's amazing how poetic he is in his writing..

[Schlappy]

"p.s. save some shows for me"

mmmhmm i can see it now... no wonder they covered it up

[Laurina]

Either is this fake or Billie now spells like he's British. "Labour"

Or Canadian

[mallorymaloney]

Fanfuckingtastic.

[in_your_face]

shoulda been a hand written one. we would have taken a year to decipher it.

[BillieJoe1972]

Imagine how cool it was for the cast members to open their email to see that from Billie Joe!! Must have been a great feeling!! It's so nice of him to write that. What an inspiration!!

[farley drexel hatcher]

Maybe the PS was that he would be visiting them soon or something XD

[pretty_and_demented]

PS?! Wtf? And "All My Love" teehee... I love Billie Joe

[lizziebix]

Thanks for posting it for all of us to see (not just the few of us that regularly read the musical thread). What a really nice email to send to the cast. Obviously he's still very involved and interested in the success of this project. Can't wait to see it even more now.

[**nobodylikesyou**]

very nice! thanks for sharing!!

[koolkev]

HOW DID YOU GET THIS?!?!?!?!?!?!

[newsflash777]

... I love that man so much

[Clayish]

I thought Homecoming was the first song written for AI...

When i was a kid i used to spell things the British way because i thought it looked cooler. And because i knew it was a correct spelling either way. Got marked off for it every.fucking.time. And fought it all the way. Colour. Labour.

Oh well. My favorite was Tyre. Also- has anyone ever heard a brit pronounce the word "Aluminum"? It's fucking amazing.

[Sanity Loan]

I thought Homecoming was the first song written for AI...

That's what they've always said

[heart on a noose]

Aww,sweet!

[Heather.]

That's what they've always said

Maybe there are multiple "firsts". Perhaps he technically wrote WMUWSE first, but Homecoming was the first song they wrote that really made them realize their vision for AI as an album.
