- '21st Century Breakdown' Tour - Winnipeg, MAN By: Nikki On: 10 Jul 2009 Comment: 0

Green Day just finished playing Winnipeg, MAN a few hours ago, it seems like Billie Joe and the boys are on a roll so far with this tour. Even though it's still in its early stages they're already kicking it up a few notches. Billie Joe demanded the 7000 plus crowd to get up out of those seats! quote: "This is a (freaking) rock ‘n’ roll concert. It’s (freaking) real tonight. Get your (freaking) asses off those (freaking) seats," and on a side note it seems they're going to be adding their watergun antics back into the show, you can check out this review from Winnipeg Free Press for more information on the show. If you have any media/ reviews you'd like to send us from last night's show be sure to check out the Tour Section!

- Happy Anniversary Billie Joe & Adrienne By: Jimmy On: 02 Jul 2009 Comment: 4

From all of us over at 1039SweetChildren we would like to wish Billie Joe and Adrienne a very happy 15th anniversary today! Billie Joe first met Adrienne in her home town at the time, Mankato, MN at a show that he played with Green Day.  It did not happen instantly but on the second or third time they had talked to each other they became pretty good friends.  Lets not write a summery of their marriage here though!  Let me get right to the point.  In the town of Mankato, MN they have been working extremely hard to get Green Day to go back and play another show there. One girl named Amanda Dyslin, who is the editor and arts journalist at The Free Press in Mankato, was the one who started the, "Campaign: Green Day", has worked extremely hard to get into contact with Adrienne Armstrong and she did!  You can now read her full interview with Adrienne at the Mankato Free Press' website by clicking here.  You can also take a step back and see all of the work that has went into this campaign by taking a read of her blog by clicking here!
