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.
To read what my favorite American Idiot wrote about the honor, then
Where do I start? 1987? 1982? Today was like a fever dream. To see a lot of our friends and family all together to celebrate the walk of fame was unreal and beautiful. I remember playing Rajis in 1992. Never in my wildest fever dreams did I ever imagine this. Walking down the blvd. Gazing at the stars of Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplin and so many more. Never once did I think this would be possible for me Mike and Tre. Mike brought tears to my eyes when he mentioned my mom Ollie. Jamming at my house in Rodeo California while she was making spaghetti. Last but not least our extended family and idiot nation. I’m always reluctant to use the word “fans” because you’ve all been on this journey with us for generations. In the immortal words of Shirley and Lee- “Let the good times roll”!
