Yesterday was Billie Joe Armstrong’s 40th birthday. Forty? Whoa. Wasn’t he 22 and Dookie was released a hot second ago? Time flies! I don’t have anything eloquent to say, except, you rock, dude. I have a guitar lesson today and that’s due to your inspiration. Keep being outspoken, foul-mouthed, and musically awesome.
Here are some of my favorite shots that I’ve taken of Mr. Armstrong in the last year or two:
