I was watching a thing on TV about Green Day to do with the rise of of Green Day and Adie and a friend of Green Day. Said that they find it funny that this song was played at weddings and won the best wedding song of the year becuase the song is a big fuck you to the guys at the Gilman St Project

How do you know its a "big fuck you to the gilaman st. project"? If it was, I wonder why Billie cries when he plays it.I think its saying goodbye to them.

I think it was Story Tellers or what its called, where family and friends talk about their lives and stuff, and someone said that it was because Gilman Street had rejected them because they had become popular. So Billie Joe wrote the song as a big 'fuck you' to Gilman Street. Ive also heard that it was because Adrienne had broken up with him for a while. But i guess Billie Joe should know best, as he wrote it. Faith

In a guitar world interview, he said himself it was about a Girlfriend interview. I think the song meaning we have now is excellent, because it offers differnet perspectives that people could have on the song. What it means to him, might not be what it means to someone else.

That was a documentary on VH1 [Driven Green Day]. It was Rob Cavallo who said it and he said it was actually a big fuck you.
He did not say it was a fuck you to the Gilman St.
video on youtube. Dno

Apparently she was "Wicked punk" and just dumped him out of nowhere and he was really sad ;_________;
