Billie Joe on the cover of Rolling Stone "The Road Back From Hell"

[Cath]

Thinking about it, I must admit Restless Heart Syndrome makes more sense now.

Can someone tell me how long is the interview?

Listening to it now. Wow.

[JIGD13]

Remember when they cancelled that show and mike and Tre came on and said he had a stomach virus? Do we think that had something to do with this now?

No I think it was something he ate but nothing to do with rehab only a coincidence

rebuttal

I don't know why everyone is so shocked about the prescription meds. Half of America is hooked on them at this stage

[Heather.]

I guess that's just a good thing to keep in mind... Every single lyric somehow goes back to himself... I guess I was in denial with some of these

That's totally fair (the denial). I'm in denial that Stray Heart is autobiographical because uh, I don't want Billie to be a cheating bastard And he does use metaphor and write about others in some situations, but I just always keep an open mind that "OK, this COULD be about Billie, it's even likely that it's about Billie, but I can't be certain." I was like 75/25 on the pill thing being autobiographical, or at least, open enough to all the lyrics that it came as no kind of shock to me. I'm honestly surprised so many people were caught off guard.

There was a lot of rumours about that after iHeart. The truth is, we don't know, and probably won't ever know.

Exactly, I put it aside like it was about someone else...

[Forever Now]

Awesome!! Cant wait to pick up a copy!

[MaraGreenDay]

Lazy bones makes more sense now, thought since i hear the song, it makes sense to me....

[JIGD13]

Are we going to get scans today?

[Heather.]

It's no wonder Billie said Restless Heart Syndrome is a song he hates simply beacuse of the way he felt when he wrote it.....

[VisionsofGreenDay115]

I think Lazy Bones is just a coincidental meaning to Billie's situation considering Lazy Bones was written before all this...

[Cath]

Are we going to get scans today?

probably not.

[Fuzz]

I think it's about time we realize our heroes are not perfect. The beautiful thing is that our hero is a musician who has a way with words and can describe his worst demons in poetic lyrics.

[Annie, get your gun]

Does Rolling Stone have internatonal shipping because I want that magazine

Surely they do; most magazines have international shipping

Are we going to get scans today?

No.

maybe but this didnt just happen overnight. i'm sure hes been struggling for a long time

It's been a long time he is on pills according to the interview.

As Heather said, even in Jesus of Suburbia you can see some lyrics related to this.

[The Forgotten]

the drug use didn't start at iHeart though, I'm almost sure he wrote lazy bones after maybe a drunk black out

[DoodleBob]

I hope we find out what Billie's favourite colour is.

strange enough someone asked me this today. I said candy apple girl but no one got the joke sigh

This abuse of alcohol and pills has been going on for years. Lazy bones was written in the middle of it.

Andres tweeted about things Mike said to Billie... is Mike directly quoted/interviewed in this article, or are these things Billie said Mike said to him?

Everyone has mistakes and I'm happy that Billie went to rehab now we know he's better and that iHeart radio had a happy ending BJ being a Healthier person with a new and good attitude but still the Billie Joe that we all love

[iRun]

I have an essay to write. I'm waiting for scans so I can start my essay. SOMEONE PLEASE!

You just activated my trap card

It's not really surprising logically to me about the prescription meds, but it's one of those things where we look up to them so much, it's hard to think of them as human or being able to do wrong. That is part of why this whole thing unsettles me.

On the songs being autobiographical, I would say that a lot of them are, even most. But there are some songs like Stray Heart or especially Brat where I don't see them coming from Billie, rather him writing a song in character.

I think Billie said that
