It has never occured to me that it was John who wrote the letter. I always thought it was Billie.

Edit: I don't think they played New Jersey on that tour though.

According to the live guide, they were in Rhode Island during those dates. Doesn't look like they went to New Jersey at all that year.

Yep, that seems about right. Quite a few people said that Green Day's first NJ show was in 1993 at City Gardens.

I've only ever heard it was John. The signature looks like it (and nothing like anything resembling Billie).

Franklin Lakes NJ and PRocidence RI (I am assuming that is where they played) is only about 3 hours away.  So, it is not unheard of that someone in NJ would be in RI

But John is the one who says they'll be in NJ, not the fan. Though it could be possible that them being close to each other could mean John might have gotten the location confused.

He says in the letter they will be in the area, but he asks the fan to call them if he knows a place they could play at.

Maybe they were not able to fix a venue in NJ but ended up playing somewhere in the area.

John didn't expressly say they would be in NJ, he said they would be in "the area, your area". Plus he was talking about a tour that would be taking place in the summer in "July" obviously some months ahead and even asked the guy if he knew of anywhere they could play. Remember how these tours used to go. If you have no idea grab an old Cometbus. Literally nothing planned ever unfolds and it sounds like this tour plan was in it's basic planning stage. He said they'd be in the area not NJ and that may have meant a four hour drive in John's mind or he might have liked to play NJ but nothing panned out. 

Cool letter though!

The letter was written in April 1990; John was in process of booking the tour, a lot of dates were still unconfirmed. The most prominent example of this would be when John said in Flipside interview - that would be March 1990 - that they would be "in Iowa area" on June 22nd, 23rd and 24th - Washington and British Columbia are obviously nowhere near Iowa. As @st_trillie said, they were going to be "in the area".

It would've been silly of me to think that someone other than John handled the booking / answering fan mail :lol:

 1990 letter from @GreenDay's original drummer (John Kiffmeyer) to a fan. Very early GD artefact!

Wow this is rare!!

It might be random that he mentions Rick Rubin.. or could this be a silent clue that he's been producing the new GD record?

I could live with Rick Rubin.  Actually I could live with anyone that isn't Rob Cavallo.

I think he just has good taste in music

Rick Rubin has been criticized quite a bit for his production methods though. But he's produced quite some memorable albums.

Yeah I imagine he's probably done quite a few albums that Billie likes. I'm just taking it as he said it (that a new Tina Turner album produced by Rick Rubin would be cool) rather than as a hint about Green Day.

For what it's worth Green Day posted the Tina Turner pic on their timeline on Facebook. They haven't been posting every picture by the guys, none by anyone except Billie and even then they skipped his fortune cookie post. It seems they are deliberately picking which pictures to post.

I try not to take everything they post or write on Instagram as a clue about the new album so as not to get disappointed. But I have to admit sometimes I tend to get excited.... :happy:  I'm not sure if Billie mentioned Rick Rubin for a particular reason, or just because he likes the way he works.

Trying so hard to ignore the cringeworthy "dad" comment I must say I'm confused by this tweet as this girl has her location as Scotland and according to all her recent tweets is very much in the UK still and has been so if Billie physically handed this to her it must have been three years ago.

I want to believe that this is the calm before the storm and that we'll be getting an official announcement within a week or two.
