This is infuriating!
On the GDA forum, there's a thread about what the Armstrongs and Whites are doing in New Orleans, and I can't for the life of me believe that there are people who have the audacity to say that Billie's only doing it because there are cameras around.
That is complete bullshit. He wouldn't be down there doing anything at all if he didn't want to be. That's ALOT of hard work he's doing, and he sure as hell wouldn't be doing it if he didn't want to be. I doubt it has anything to do with cameras, and I'll bet you the reason there are cameras to document it is to get people inspired to join up and help out as well! He's getting the word out for a good cause, and he and his family, as well as the White family are doing something absolutely incredible.
Not only has Green Day done benefit shows to earn money for Katrina relief, as well as other disasters and causes, but now he's down there literally helping to re-build homes with his own bare hands- and people have the nerve to say it's only because there are cameras!
It's ridiculous to downgrade what he's doing, because it is absolutely incredible and inspiring. It's stupid how people are finding any fault in it... at all.

Cameras or not he is doing something worthwhile and actually helping so at least he's doing something to help

Really now, if he wanted to go down there for the 'cameras', the nhe could have just saved himself a trip and walked down the street to his local Starbuck's. Geesh some people are just a little too pathetic.

Billie's just showing that he's not some millionaire rock-star that sits on his ass all day counting his money and numberous Gammy's.
He's out helping the people who need it most. He's not greedy. He's not doing it for publicity.
He gets enough publicity anyways, so why the f*ck do you think he'd do it for attention that he ALREADY HAS!??!!!

I wasnt even aware that he was doing anything.
But it makes me happy now to know that he is.
and i agree with teenage assasin, ill wait for the album if this is what hes doing instead.

I find it unlikely that he's doing it because of cameras.
I don't think he'd bring his kids down there to help if he was.

I agree with almost everyone. Billie isn't the type of person to pull a publicity stunt, none of them really are.

I hate it when people say crap like that. Even though I've never met Green Day, you can just tell that they are good people. To hell with the fact that BJ would do that for publicity. That's crap. What he's doing is hard work, so I agree. He's working hard to make a change. Either way, he's doing something good.

Why do people have to pull out all of the bad things or make a situation bad. Why do people have to degrade Billie on what he is doing. Whether he was there for cameras or not ( i believe that he wasnt), he is still doing a great thing!!!

I hate to say it...but it probably is for publicity. That's what bands do. Sell themselves for money. Every band does it. Some more than others (like overdosing in merchandise). SO I don't see why it's a downgrade or a negative. In the end they're helping. So it really doesn't make a difference.

You know, in all honesty.. who cares if its for publicity? I mean, they could be picking fights and doing drugs for publicity, but instead they are helping people. I personally don't care why they're doing, I think its wonderful they are helping out. its great.

i think its really awesome that Billie is doing that. And everyone who disagrees with the fact that he is helping to relieve the damage should seriously see a shrink.

A-f*cking-men. That Blog pissed me off. And opinions usually don't piss me off, but that one just DID.
Funky Platypus, April 13th, 2007 at 04:24:55pm
Another thing that pisses me off, and I just saw a blog about this, is people who think they need to quit doing charity work and get on with their new album.
The charity work is absolutely amazing and inspiring.
I want the new album as much as the next person, but the charity work is incredible. I'm happy to wait as long as it takes if THIS is the type of thing they're doing instead of working on the album.

i think that people just don't want to admit that he's doing something to help people. they're just idiots who most likely support bush.
