An all nighter on Guinness is exactly what it sounds like: pulling an all nighter and drinking Guinness the whole time.

But "on" Guinness? It's not like you're "on" alcohol, you're drinking it!

You can say "I pulled an all-nighter on Monster" and such, though, so I think it still works.

I guess it just sounded so awkward to me, but then again, this is Billie's grammar we're talking about. :lol:

Regardless, the quote just seems like a terrible choice, especially considering all the recent publicity regarding his substance abuse.

2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: 7 weeks of coverage begins today

Today begins the march towards the 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductions, which will take place at Cleveland's Public Hall on April 18.

Over the next seven weeks, we will take a look at this year's class of inductees, including Bill Withers, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, Lou Reed, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Green Day, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Ringo Starr and The "5" Royales.

We kick off our coverage this week with Joan Jett, taking a look at her best songs, history of performing in Cleveland and more. The Plain Dealer's Chuck Yarborough will post his interview with Jett later this week.

Feel free to share your memories of Jett and your thoughts on her induction in our comments section. Come back throughout the next month and a half for coverage on the inductees and other special Rock Hall features.

I think it kind of works. It contextualises the whole thing in a way.

Billie Joe mentioned

Post-“Gossip Girl,” Meester relocated to Los Angeles, married “The OC” actor Adam Brody, and returned to making movies, including the upcoming “Like Sunday, Like Rain” with Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong.

“He is one of the nicest, most centered people I’ve ever met, and he plays my ex-boyfriend, who’s a sign of my immature past,” she says of her co-star, adding that they never once discussed songwriting on set. “We talked about acting instead, because he is quite good!”

11 Misinterpreted '90s Songs With Lyrics That Totally Went Over Your Head As A Kid

9. Green Day, “Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)”

What You Thought It Was About: The end of an era. Like high school. Or … high school (does anyone ever play this song for any occasion besides a high school graduation or the last episode of Seinfeld?)

What It’s Actually About: Getting dumped.

Explanation: Which is kind of an end of an era; but this song’s about a split more jarring than just drifting apart from your friends over the summer as you prepare to go to different colleges. Singer Billie Joe Armstrong wrote the song about his girlfriend, who left him to go live in Ecuador. As he told Guitar Legends Magazine in 2005, “I was trying not to be bitter, but I think it came out a little bitter anyway…”

Book review with mentions of Green Day

Punk USA: The Rise and Fall of Lookout Records

http://www.popmatters.com/review/190935-punk-usa-the-rise-and-fall-of-lookout-records-by-kevin-prested/

The University of Iowa Department of Theatre Arts announced its 2015-2016 Mainstage Season on Tuesday.

Theatergoers can see Green Day’s “American Idiot” and Tom Stoppard’s “Arcadia” this fall. In 2016, “Food and Fadwa,” a rave fable inspired by Euripides’ “Iphigenia at Aulis” and Henrik Ibsen’s “Lady from the Sea” will be performed.

“American Idiot”

Green Day’s powerhouse album is brought to life in this electric-rock musical of youthful disillusion at 8 p.m. Oct. 16, 17, 21, 22, 23 and 24 as well as 2 p.m. Oct. 18 and 25 at the Mabie Theatre. The two-time Tony Award-winning hit musical “American Idiot,” based on Green Day’s Grammy Award-winning multiplatinum album, boldly takes the American musical where it’s never gone before.

from the new Kerrang issue

Cool to see Live Freaky Die Freaky get a mention! Billie didn't write Mechanical Man though, he just sang it, it was written by Roddy Bottum.
