Green Day has been releasing music for over 30 years, and now they are getting into the movie business. On August 14th, they are telling their story…sort of…in Nimrods.
When Tommy receives a phone call inviting his band to open for Green Day on New Year’s Eve, he doesn’t realize it’s an elaborate prank by his older brother, Wayne. Desperate to believe his life is about to change, Tommy steals Wayne’s car and begins driving his band from Kansas City to Los Angeles, hell bent on getting there in three days. What follows is a rowdy and uproarious road trip across America.
The film, written and directed by Lee Kirk, is inspired by the beginning of Green Day’s career, when they used to tour in a van before they hit it big with Dookie.
The Super Bowl is turning 60 this year at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, and the NFL wants to honor those MVPs who have played the game throughout the decades. So they are going to give them a show worthy of their accomplishments during the opening ceremony.
The National Football League asked Green Day, a hometown band from San Francisco, to play a medley of their hits to start the biggest game of the year. And they said, “We are super hyped to open Super Bowl 60 right in our backyard!” said Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong. “We are honored to welcome the MVPs who’ve shaped the game and open the night for fans all over the world. Let’s have fun! Let’s get loud!”
And please, oh please, may they sing American Idiot unedited to bash trump. And may NBC not bleep them for doing so!
They will be kicking things off at 3p on February 8th.
A few weeks ago, Katy Perry went to space for a shorter time than so people take to take a shit. However, when she came back down to earth, she kissed the ground. Because of that, everyone had another reason to make fun of her. And we were right.
Yesterday, Green Day, the little band that can, finally got their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. So Billie Joe Armstrong literally went from the Boulevard of Broken Dreams to having their dream come true on Hollywood Boulevard. So what did the singer do when he saw his band’s name on the ground next to so many legends? He bent down and kissed the star!
And that is the correct time to do so! Another example would be when I got out of the car after the first time my 16-year-old niece took me driving, I kissed the sidewalk, And her reaction was to accidentally back up into me because she claims she “didn’t” see me.
Back to Armstrong. I love that the band is continuing to have the best time of their lives and that they are appreciating it all.

Green Day just wrapped their world tour, so you would think that they would be rolling in the green.
However, Billy Joe Armstrong was seen wearing a Domino’s uniform. So, does he need to toss dough to make some dough?
Nope! As the singer explained, “Well.. ask and you shall receive! My buddy @mark_weiss got me my vintage uniform from Domino’s pizza for a belated bday present ”
If this music thing doesn’t work out for him, he could go back to delivering pizzas.
On that note. He looks better in that outfit now than he did then. If you don’t believe me, then click here!
Green Day is playing South Africa for the first time. While they were performing in Johannesburg, the band decided to call out the country’s biggest idiot.
That is right. They changed up the American Idiots’ lyrics, “I’m not a part of the redneck agenda,” to “I’m not part of the Elon agenda.”
Just when I think I could not love them anymore, Billie Joe Armstrong proudly singing the fake POTUS’ name, made me adore them even more!
This is not the first time they have changed up those lyrics. On New Year’s Eve 2024, they changed redneck to MAGA.
When it comes to the audience, it sounds like they were having the time of their life. But then again, they were able to say good riddance to Lex Luthor wannabe. And gave him to us.
