I especially liked this part:

The trio's silliness — exemplified, say, by Billie Joe's spitting up to the ceiling during a show and catching the remains in his mouth when it comes down — is part theatrics and partly an attempt to let the audience know that the guys onstage are just, well, regular guys.

How much more regular can they be? Green Day invites its audiences to heckle them, announcing at regular intervals throughout the show, "Hey, I'm a f------ moron, and so are you." And forget the stereotypical rock star excesses, Dirnt says, pointing out that the band frowns on star treatment like limousines. Even more important (to Green Day), Dirnt says, is making the crowd feel like part of the show.

"I think it's time the crowd got involved. That's your 20 bucks that went into that concert. Number one, you shouldn't have paid 20 bucks. Number two, you shouldn't have to idol (sic) somebody who's onstage.

Man I wish I could've got to those early concerts. It must've been quite wonderful. That was a nice article. Mike had a lot of cool stuff to say. :)

"We're going to go home and take care of business," Dirnt says. "If you get too far from where you come from and who you were and from what made you big, you become a parody of what you were. And that's wrong."

It's a nice article. I agree with what Mike said in the end.

@BillieJoeDude ,they 're grown ups now. We all miss the old days but they can't act like kids all their life (Although Tre can...)
