I don't know if anyone on here has ever read 'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist' by Rachel Cohn, but in the book, she has a local band play a cover of 'Chump' and has her main characters talk about Billie Joe for a while. I was disappointed that they didn't show this scene in the movie at all :( She also mentions Green Day in her book 'Shrimp,' I believe, when the main character says that she'll cover her future home in Green Day vinyl's.

I'm pretty sure that the author's a pretty big Green Day fan.

i started reading that a few months back! i was going to post about it until i read this. haha I was pretty happy when i found it though. I was at work when i started reading it. i had been having a crappy day but that made it so much better! lol

and i was cleaning my room the other day and I found a gift bag that has a picture of a crown on it and under it says "for a day" obviously meaning "king for a day"... i chose to keep that bag instead of throw it away!

had to write an essay on national pride.

somehow i got Green Day into it :lol:

every time i see a pool table i think of that time Billie Joe branded Chris' ass in "Riding In Vans With Boys".

I die laughing and no one understands why. :lol:

Yeah it keeps coming on lately for some reason. This thread has made me realise how obsessed I actually am. I mean, even when I see road signs that say "80" I get all happy, I think I've got a problem... :wacko:

I can relate anything to green day. Srsly. Even if it's not related at all.

Did I mention that, when I watched Sweet November, and she told him "TAKE THE ROUTE 80 TO OAKLAND" I was like "OMG!!!!! :woot:"? xD

Today I realized that when I was little, I thought the lyrics to Hotel California by The Eagles was "welcome to Oakland California".

mind you, I barely knew what California was at the time, let that I'd heard of Oakland. It just happened to be that that was what I heard.

just a slight reference, but well :happy:

So I'm reading this book Slam by Nick Hornby and at the beginning it says something like "She surely didn't know anything about cool stuff like Tony Hawks or Green Day." Made me smile. :happy:
