But this is still the best thread.

That doesn't give anyone the right to have a different opinion than me

Yeah, I know it was originally on Kerplunk!, but I just thought it was interesting to point out. Possibly intentional on GD's part.

I remember when that was either your sig or your avatar, back when I joined. This is from Kerrang!, the current issue (May 24th, 2014).

Half of the used ones I see used have Ernie.

I like 21st Century Breakdown as much as American Idiot.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but what is this? You can't link directly to song listings on ASCAP so I took a screenshot. It's there, under Billie's page if you want to go see it. Is it just something they licensed and never spoke about again?

Well that goes without saying

At least Jason looks like he's having fun. That's new.

^ I don't know what you're talking about, because that was cool.

It's not OK, it's "Thank you", I believe. There's an A4 poster of Billie Joe in the current issue of Kerrang!, the "SHOTS" section. I posted it in the picture thread: http://www.greendaycommunity.org/topic/95975-billie-joe-armstrong/#entry5654669

It's a very young Little Richard (from the 1950's):

You're welcome! Ha ha, you're welcome It's great when you can find a picture you haven't seen before!

What "special words" are we even talking about? The only notable example I can think of is him using "methamphetamine" completely fluidly.

I don't think it has much to do with education, sure that might've given him a slightly bigger vocabulary and made him better at grammar and formal writing and stuff but as far as being able to express yourself with words artistically I don't think that's something that really needs to be learned. You can naturally pick up a pretty wide variety of words and phrases just from people you meet, school, tv, radio and books etc if that's the way you're inclined, you don't necessarily have to especially study for it. And then being able to put them together so well is just a talent he was born with I suppose.
