Billie Joe Armstrong

Billie Joe Armstrong (born February 17, 1972) is an American rock musician and occasional actor, best known as the lead vocalist, main songwriter and lead guitarist for the American punk rock band Green Day. Raised in Rodeo, California, Armstrong developed an interest in music at a young age, and recorded his first song at the age of five. He met Mike Dirnt while attending elementary school, and the two instantly bonded over their mutual interest in music, forming the band Sweet Children when the two were fifteen years old. The band changed its name to Green Day, and would later achieve massive commercial success. Armstrong has also pursued musical projects outside of Green Day's work, including numerous collaborations with other musicians as well as serving as the primary vocalist for the bands Pinhead Gunpowder and Foxboro Hot Tubs.

I was 11 and I remember I must had heard Boulevard of Broken Dreams like a thousand times on the radio and on MTV, but I only fell in love with him when I saw Green Day in CARAS (Argentinian magazine). He was holding like 5 awards at the 2005 VMA'S and he looked glorious. I fell in love with him but not physically, I mean, I fell in love with his style,his music,his band,his evrything. I remember I started looking at him like a dad(not only because of his age). In fact, I found out he had a son my age! I hated and I still hate his wife,don't know why..guess he's too much for her.
I used to dream about meeting him and I didn't waste a minute outside while a Green Day marathon was on MTV(even if it lasted a whole day!).
But time passed and I started forgetting about the love I felt. I guess the 2006 football Worldcup changed everything. I used to think about him sometimes, but as someone who is far away...
A year ago, thanks to my new greendayer friends Ornella and Lucía, I remembered everything back again. Although it didn't feel not even close to the first time, I recall how many hours I could listen to his music wiithout getting bored,tired or wasted.
Now I think of him as someone who change a lot of things in my life,as someone dear...
