Green Day: Bullet in a Bible2005

Billie Joe Armstrong:
Every single line that you write, you hang on every single word and you hang on every single moment. And for 'Jesus of Suburbia' when people are singing it back to you, they're not just reflecting what you've... the things about the song that you're wrapped up in, but also what their lives are wrapped up in, too. It's too much of an emotional moment... it's, it's one of the most emotional moments in a song I've ever written. And that's the only way you can look at a song like that. It's like you can't sit here and look at it and say, 'Oh, this is a catchy number.' 'This is... oh, God, I'd love to dance to this song.' For a song like 'Jesus of Suburbia' there's too much emotion at stake to just simply say it like that. You don't even have to say you *love* that song. I don't even think that's a way to describe it. It's not about... it's, it's about, it's about all the emotional baggage that you, you come with and that you are, are just... you finally have an outlet for. That's what 'Jesus of Suburbia' is to me and when it's reflected back at you by 65,000 people, it's um... I don't konw, it's a feeling you can't even describe.
