I'm really hoping people don't blow this break thing out of proportion. I've already seen a girl on my facebook saying oh my god they're taking a break they're probably going to break up. They take some form of break between each album...might not be a long break but they definitely take some time off, it's no different this time. Glad to hear they're waiting until the time is right though, the trilogy seemed a little rushed, so hopefully the next project will be a long thought out thing.1 point

Saw these next to each other on the Billie tag on tumblr and found it amusing. It's like Billie's watching himself shaking it in a thong.1 point

Throwback: Green Day – Dookie ByTara Hurley On Tuesday, July 16, 2013 Throwback http://music-news.redigi.com/throwback-green-day-dookie-2/ this taken from a VH1 interview VH1: How much of Dookie is a love letter to your wife Adrienne? Billie Joe: There really weren't any songs about her at that time. A lot of the songs are about this girl from San Diego, who went to Cal Berkeley. Adrienne and I weren't going out at the time. We lost contact with each other for about a year. She got engaged to a guy in Minneapolis. Then I got involved with this other girl. I lived in the basement in Berkeley with all these guys from the East Bay and she lived upstairs in the apartment. We ended up having this year-long relationship. The song "She" was about her. VH1: How did you come to write it? Billie Joe: She gave me this poem about this empowering woman, which I think is called "She." I wrote the song as an answer back to her. My now ex-girlfriend is also on the songs "Sassafras Roots" and "Chump." VH1: So how did you and Adrienne get back together? Billie Joe: My ex-girlfriend was moving to Ecuador to live there for the spring semester. At that point we were going to go on our tour and just keep going. So we had a hasty breakup. I never really talked to her ever again. VH1: So what's it like now for Adrienne to be married to you and your biggest record is filled with songs about another woman? Billie Joe: I know she likes that song! I've been married for almost eight years, so Adrienne and I are comfortable enough that I've had a past. She's got a past, too. She was engaged, had boyfriends, had flings, and I'm comfortable with that, otherwise I wouldn't be married to her. Adrienne is the only woman I'll ever love. VH1: What do you feel you were addressing in "Basket Case?" Billie Joe: "Basket Case" was about anxiety attacks and feeling like you're ready to go crazy. At times I probably was. I've suffered from panic disorders my entire life. I thought I was just losing my mind. The only way I could know what the hell was going on was to write a song about it. It was only years later that I figured out I had a panic disorder.1 point
