I thought it said it was about his 16th birthday And beginning of his relationship with Adrienne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurie_black Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I thought it said it was about his 16th birthday And beginning of his relationship with Adrienne. It makes more sense to me to translate "anniversaire" as (wedding) anniversary rather than "birthday" in this context. Why would it be about his birthday?And by the way:mike_dosxx: Knitting Fail! #GrandmaGraffiti #HipsterBikeRack! #ARealHippieWouldHaveFinishedTheJob!

Why would it be about his birthday?The fan said he asked him about songs he wrote about being his age (16) or whatever way he phrased it and he mentioned three songs including this one. Maybe it's about more than one thing I dunno but it translates as "his sixteenth birthday". Even if you read it in French it means that. Most Green Day songs have multiple meanings...Maybe this is just another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Green Day songs have multiple meanings...Maybe this is just another. I see where you're coming from and I agree, of course, songs can have multiple meanings. I don't think though, that's what it means. The French word "anniversaire" doesn't necessarily translate as birthday, it can also mean anniversary and given that Billie has already stated in that Neon Magazine interview that Sweet 16 was written about his 16th wedding anniversary with his wife, I'm quite certain that's what's meant here as well. You're right, he said they talked about the time Billie was the fan's age and apparently the topic of Sweet 16 also came up in the course of that discussion, but he only specifically mentions Only Of You and At The Library to be written at age 16. And I think Billie wasn't much older than that when he met Adrienne for the first time (18, I think?), so it's still roughly the same time period.

Then again maybe it's just poorly written by a sixteen year old French kid who had to deal with Billie's version of the English language Its all good.

Hermione Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 The French fan who met Billie at his guitar shop Broken Guitars (whose pictures were posted here on the last pages, so I figured I'd put it here) wrote about his experience meeting him and Bill Schneider on a French fan website: http://greendayparadise.net/site/1487/adrien-raconte-sa-rencontre-avec-bja/#commentsThere are some quite interesting parts. Bill and Billie Joe apparently told him that both Brittney and Jason had conquered cancer and were getting back into form. He asked Billie about the new album, too. He said that they had some songs and that the fans still had to be patient for a while, but that with everything good and bad that had happened in their lives recently they had plenty of inspiration.Great to hear this about Jason!
