AlissaGoesRAWR Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Everytime I see them and Billie in particular, play at an event with other artists, he always seems to feel so out of place. IT is almost like he is fanboying for all his favorite artists. He doesn't seem to realize how much respect he is given by his peers. It really is adorable. I think we all feel that way! I couldn't believe how many people were there only for Green Day. It was both shocking and validating. But yes, they were all fanboying hardcore. It made me feel good to know everyone has at least one idol out there, no matter how famous they are! Billie Joe's new profile photo in Instagram That's him rehearsing for Cleveland. It's not new.

stories and songs Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I know, right? It seems so easy to think "oh, a few talking points will be OK" but even if there's a small crowd in front of me I usually blank. I can't imagine how nervous he was for this! When he said he didn't write a speech I about shit myself. I think you can hear me in the video my husband took saying something along the lines of "oh shiiiiit." But still, seeing him make these follow-up posts is very encouraging because it shows he's still thinking about this, how seriously he takes it, and how much it means to him. I really think the entire band left Ohio super inspired and humbled by the entire experience. I'm very proud of my home state. I would not have been able to speak half as well as he did without a legitimate speech. I mean, most people that night who said eloquent things were, I think, reading off a teleprompter. And I was a little bummed he didn't write one, because he has written lovely speeches in the past. That said, I understand why he felt as though he couldn't write one. To the guys, this honor really MEANS something. To try to sum that up is very difficult, and to sound rehearsed about it probably wouldn't have captured the awe he showed when he was just speaking from the heart. And I've been loving reading these follow-up thank yous. He is such a sweet and genuine person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My job is to tell stories, so I understand the difficulty of summarizing things into words that convey the proper emotions and message. Putting it on paper is artistic, but in a different way. For this situation, speaking from the heart was the most genuine, heartfelt, perfect thing he could do. It was even more impressive coming from someone as socially awkward as him. And I don't mind if he continues to follow-up with thank you messages for weeks on end. It's good to hear from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin for a Day Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 And I don't mind if he continues to follow-up with thank you messages for weeks on end. It's good to hear from him. YOu know he is in his living room, pacing, just going over in his head who he forgot. Then he has an "oh shit" moment and posts an instagram.

AlissaGoesRAWR Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 New for his profile photo, as the person indicated.Well yeah, but elsewhere on the forum people were suggesting it was a "sign" they were recording/practicing again, thinking it was new. Just didn't feel like having that conversation again! via strawberrymelonmoe That's basically what my face would look like if I ever tried to take a selfie with him. Cute. Also, man, he grows beard/stubble fast! It's amazing how different he looks from two weeks ago without his makeup/cleanly shaved look.

AlissaGoesRAWR Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Clean shaven Billie, yes.I think it's the gray that throws me off. I don't mind stubble at all (my husband has a beard these days), but I don't like to remember that Billie is 43. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possibly... time to dye the beard? For 43 years old, the man looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because he´s rather in the direction of my age and I`m getting used to... umm... grey... Off topic: is it right that in American English it´s "gray" and in British English "grey"?

I use them interchangeably but mostly grey. It's just my personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
