A year ago yesterday, on a Sunday, my husband, son, and I saw Green Day perform live at the Gwinnett Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. My husband texted me a few times today while we were both at work, wishing we were on that vacation now- the one that took us from Green Day to the Blue Ridge Parkway, to Shenandoah National Park and the Skyline Drive, and the opening day of last year's Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire.
In commemoration of that amazing trip, and our front row seats, I am linking to my article about our Green Day Concert experience, including three original photographs. At the bottom of this post, I'm linking to a series of articles analyzing Billie Joe Armstrong's song writing technique as it applies to creative writing, and my "love affair" with Billie Joe Armstrong as inspiration for three novels-in-progress, one short play, and one mini-novella.
Because I wrote fifteen or so articles about Green Day, I've been indexed by Google and several fan sites, and I get some forty-five blog hits a day from people looking for information about Billie Joe Armstrong's songwriting technique, or more often, from people looking for photographs, especially of Billie Joe and his wife, Adrienne.
*Click here* to see the photographs and to read my observations and reflections about Green Day and Billie Joe Armstrong; and also how they relate to some of my writing. I include excerpts from professionally written articles with links to the original sources. If you're a Green Day fan, a musician, or a writer, enjoy!
