Posting here to first off say that I'm in total agreement with the warnings that Alissa has given. Also, I've hidden the more recent posts talking about Jeff and his personal life. It's not a conversation that's a healthy part of this community. People are not perfect, but no one here knows the full story, and it's not our job to look into it.

The floof is strong with this one.😂😍 Like, how is he that fluffy?! He's just so darn ADORABLE! Aw Perry is such a cutie.😍💕

Love your new profile pic @G-L-O-R-I-A Can I say he also looks good in black only? God I love his profile

Not just you, he looks amazing there ❤️❤️❤️ His eyes are pools of loveliness in the Foreverly photos, so gentle and welcoming, even more than usual 😍

Damn, he looks good in black and white.😍 Gorgeous.💕

Warning points have been distributed. Everyone seriously needs to chill out. It's OK to disagree with somebody's opinion on a topic, but picking fights and posting personal attacks about other members can't continue or we're going to have to shut down this conversation altogether. That type of behavior is unnecessary and against forum rules. It's messy, everyone gets defensive and it derails any productive conversation. If you have an issue with a user, it's best to either move the conversation to a private message to work it out or contact a moderator if you think the member is violating forum rules. I consulted with two other team members about this, too, just so you're all aware. I think we were pretty lenient in letting the Jeff/Kalie stuff be discussed this much anyway -- it's a personal situation, most of the posts about it have been deleted or are on now-private accounts, and the only real "news" coverage of it was a single blog. Often such topics are avoided on here. I felt it was OK to continue discussing it when it first came up because the conversation seemed mature and productive. Let's keep it that way.

he's the most important member of green day, is who he is

Going to do the same: I admit I don't see the link you make from "Don't let your ponytail get out of line" to "stop and pay attention to me" (to me it's more: you can stay in line if you want, not let anything get out of it, but I won't do that), but I do for the second part of the phrase. That makes sense too. He could also be mocking the subject's desire to stay in line. "I'm on the spectrum and the borderline, I got the shakes but I'm alright," I think he sings "alive" in the album version (which is another degree of concession, supposing he's fine only because he's alive, that being alive is enough) but I just heard a live version where he says "alright"... but it's just a small detail ^^ I definitely hear "alright" but "alive" would also work anyway. It's a more dramatic way of saying the same thing he'd be saying with "alright," like as you said, another degree of concession as if just being alive is enough. Do you hear "swagger" sometimes when he sings it live? supposing not only it won't hurt too much, but even more, he'll even feel even more assured if he's left. Now I'm thinking the whole song could be about being left alone while he thinks he's an edgy guy from the start but finally okay with that, and that being left alone won't make him get back in line / be normal. Just listened to this one where Jeff's mic is way too loud and he's definitely singing "stagger" But on the audio from the DC show it sounds like Billie could be singing "swagger." If that's right then I agree. He's embracing being "turned loose" and even taking pleasure in it. I hear "but it doesn't matter" being related to "with dumb tattoos" because he sings both lines so closely; so it would be a way to say "the dumb tattoos don't matter, the fact I have them and am a weirdo doesn't matter". He could also be saying that. I feel like either way though, he doesn't entirely believe what he's saying and it hurts him a bit that people think that, but maybe the whole song is him trying to embrace what he doesn't want to admit is hurting him. "I'll go down swinging for the final line," I really hear foul line, like in bowling the line where you don't hit any skittle, which makes sense with the "I'm not a rebel for my pride" as I hear it. I think my interpretation would pretty much be the same if it was "foul line." He'll "go out with a bang" so to speak, fighting for himself until the end even if he's unsuccessful. Very interesting! I still wonder whom Fell For You is meant for by the way. Funny because you made to link from TML to it and I made one to Loss of Control, which follows FFY in Uno. Is is the same person he fells for, and then sings about that he's the "April Fools who thought he fell in love with" in LOC? and now the same he speaks about in TML, finally marking a conclusion to it? I have two interpretations of that line in Loss of Control. He could indeed be saying "April fool's" to himself for falling for the person in Fell For You, as if he knows it can't end well and he's mocking himself. Referring back to that in Turn Me Loose would be a great conclusion. But I think in general the song is about people from the East Bay punk scene. If that's the case, then I interpret that line as him mocking those people (or even himself) for falling in love with the scene they betrayed. Or referring to failed relationships, which those people were insistent would last at the time and that's just giving him another reason to laugh at them. As for who Fell For You is about, I think all the trilogy and Longshot love songs are about the same person. It could be an "imaginary girlfriend" because I know he talked a lot about that when the trilogy came out and he even refers to that in Razor Baby. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this post. But no pressure at all because it's 4,500 words long I also wrote some trilogy song interpretations back in 2012 but I probably don't even agree with them anymore. I'll have to dig them up and rewrite them. With Fell For You it's interesting to consider how a variation of this quote, which Billie said at the closing night of the American Idiot musical, ended up in the lyric book: “Keep your fucking heart young, goddammit. Keep it fucking all comfy all the time. Don’t fucking stop, there’s a reason why that hand is holding the heart. It just keeps squeeze that motherfucker till it still bleeds every goddamn day.” Hope it's OK for us to be using coloured text here! I don't think this shade of green is too hard to read on the black or white themes. In other news when I was looking for live versions of Turn Me Loose I came across this and seeing me dancing on the front row (the black hair and bow in the bottom right) made me happy The Longshot was such a wonderful gift from Billie.

When fb says people you might know & his last name is Passalacqua & you think about sending friend request 🤔

He's such a floofy boi! I have honestly never seen anyone who has hair as amazing as Billie's. There's something special about him. He's the fucking best! I love him so much! Even when his hair isn't particularly long, it's still ridiculously fluffy!

I really like some of the photos from the Foreverly era too:

I have a crush on badly dyed blond Perry Miller

The next person who picks a fight gets a warning point. Let’s get off our high horses and back on topic.

You don't sound 12 at all. I remember feeling that way about the FBHT club shows and I never thought I'd get to see anything similar. I'm still naively hoping they'll come to the UK one day so I hope you can see them!

@solongfromthestars at the risk of sounding about 12, I am so envious of anyone who saw these shows and to be so close too 😍😍😍👏👏👏

There's only one GD dream I always remember. I was on a boat and Billie was there singing into a microphone. He then drove off in a sleek silver sporty car that looked just like one of Aladdin's shoes with the really pointed up toe and he wouldn't have been able to see to drive! That's all I really remember! Just so you get an idea of the kind of shoes I mean like this but silver

That's what I've always thought/known/heard the song to be about and I believe Haushinka was her name. Billie tweeted about it way back:

I am so in love with this picture right now! Maybe it's because I just had a dream involving this version of Billie, but damn! I've always been absolutely floored by this look. ❤️ The shades, the hair, the clothes, the eyes, the pose - everything is just perfect! And just look into these eyes! It's like you can see straight into his soul.

Replying to you in green in the quote:

Yeah that's possible that all of them had some input. On another note I'm still getting emails from the Black Cat in Washington where The Longshot played and every time it makes me happy thinking about the show

Not convinced that’s Billie, am I the only one?

That’s like, straight off the blow dryer fluffy!!!! 🤯 I’m jealous of the volume his hair gets.

10/10 for Perry 😍😍

Billie with glasses 😍
