Green Day References

[nimrosomniac]

Some douchebag "sports anchor" on one of our news stations here said this morning, "There's a song called 'Wake Me Up When September Ends', and that could be used to describe some American football team blah blah". I stopped listening after he started going on about that, and muttered something to myself about how dick that was because of what the song IS about. nonetheless, it was a Green Day reference. -_-

I was waiting for my laundry and Last of the American Girls started playing on the TV, it was on You've Been Framed and used for clips of people falling off bikes

I was all "Green Day!" and the guy sitting on the floor with a comic just looked at me gone out.

reminded me of the lyrics in "Loss of Control"

We never had anything in common and I never liked you anyway

There's an author, Joe Hart, who incorporates Green Day into his writing on occasion. He is from Minnesota and seems to be a fan. He's an excellent writer, I recommend checking him out if you are into the horror genre. Just now came across this paragraph from the novel "Lineage": "Lance reached to the dash and turned on the radio on, letting the sounds of Green Day pour out of the surrounding speakers..... By the time Billie Joe Armstrong quit telling everyone where he would be found when he came around, the city of Duluth rose up on his left..." He's done similar things in other writings. Always makes me smile.

Corey Taylor from Slipknot did an interview with Larry King and was asked what he has on his iPod and one of the bands he mentioned was Green Day. Found that really interesting.

The new song '20 Years (That’s a Lot Of Beers)' on Bowling For Soup's their new greatest hits album references Green Day.

The song is about the things that have happened in the 20 years they have been a band. They reference a few other artists as well.

"Green Day has been on Broadway"

I was just listening to the jazz radio station and a tune that came on sounded oddly familiar.

Turns out it was an instrumental jazz rendition of Mahogany

What a time for me to find out that it wasn't an original PHGP song

I was just taking one of those stupid buzzfeed qiuizzes. This one is supposed to test your memory. There is one section where they show Billie during that interview he did with Michael Mayer.http://www.playbuzz.com/benjaminbirely10/how-good-is-your-memory?pbg=8037

Ah I have to post this here:

So some months ago I was listening to a professor in my university, pretty young guy, and he was rambling about how unneccesary some mistakes were that students made in lab. Some students werent paying attention and were just talking to eachother, kinda disrupting the talk of the professor. So the professor said all of a sudden to them: Do you have the time to listen to me whine? And the guys were like "wtf" (remember, I am Dutch, and while most professors just talk English, this talk was given in Dutch, so it was apparent that it was a reference), and all the people who knew the song were like woah.
So after the talk I went to the proffesor, and it turned out that he used to be a big punrockfan and that he was glad that some people srtil like Green Day.
