[@devilsoffspring5519]

He has too much to lose in his life to deliberately shorten his own lifespan. Good for him for sobering up! (Granted, he's still in Green Day, so he probably still gets fucked up a little from time to time--just goes with the territory.) I think Mike Dirnt quit smoking cigarettes after something like 20+ years of smoking. I hope he enjoys a long life.

[@turdburglar2897]

He's definitely still using alcohol and weed. Maybe in moderation. But trust me, with his mental health, there's no way he's stopping.

In double hindsight it was just the kind of medicine that I needed in my life. They changed so many lifes with their music and continue to do so.

Back in 1994, an 11 year old me was watching MTV, basket case came on, and just like that, I was hooked. Bought Dookie (multiple times on cassette and CD because I wore them out) bought kerplunk, 1039, insomniac, warning, nimrod, American Idiot, 21st century break down, uno, dos, tre, Revolution radio, and father of all… When they’re in town I never miss seeing them perform. Each song from their albums is forever engraved into childhood, teenage, and adult memories. I absolutely love Green Day. They are without a doubt the best live band to see perform. And FOB was right on their intro, BJA’s stance playing guitar is an iconic silhouette. Can’t wait to see them play again.
