Let me tell you about the most amazing night of my life.
Let's begin with Green Day and end with WAS SPECTACULAR. It was literally a dream come true to be at that concert. Billie Joe played Christie Road and Good Riddance acoustic at the end. He asked how many old school Green Day fans there were and I flipped my shit. Then the band played 2000 Light Years Away. It was amazing to know the words to that song knowing there were so many people there who were given Green Day tickets because they purchased '21st Century Breakdown' and decided they fell in love with them. But there were some real big fans there, self included. It felt so good.
The room was full of people singing with their phones out and cameras they hid in their hood trying to capture the intensity. They pulled a few people onto the stage to sing Longview and another song I don't even remember anymore, and the last actual song was Jesus of Suburbia, in which Billie Joe got a member of the crowd in the front up on stage to play the entire song. At the end, he was like, 'somebody, buy this man a beer.' It was BEAUTIFUL. To me, there is absolutely no other way to put it. There were good vibes all around. During Boulevard of Broken Dreams, he stopped singing the first verse and everyone in the room filled in for him. He said, 'Oh shit. A room full of people singing. That's what I'm fucking talking about!'
I was proud to have been there. I wish I could relive that concert over and over again. The Kaiser Cheifs opened for them, but I have to say I couldn't get that into them. Maybe it was the hype that was crawling all through my body, where I wanted to scream and sing along already! I stood up during every song and clapped and it was obvious to me and probably everyone who saw me that I was waaaay into the music. But I wouldn't want it any other way.
Staring out of my window, watch as the cars go rollin' by
All my friends are gone and I've got nothing to do.
So I sit here patiently, watching the clock tick so slowly,
gotta get away or my brains will explode.
Give me something to do to kill some time
Take me to that place where I call home
Take away the strains of being lonely
Take me to tracks at Christie Road.
See the hills from afar, standing on my beat up car
The sun went down, and the night fills sky
Now I feel like me once again, as a train comes a'rollin in
Smoke my boredom gone, slap my brains up so high.
Give me something to do to kill some time
Take me to that place where I call home
Take away the strains of being lonely
Take me to the tracks at Christie Road.
Mother stay out of my way, of that place we go
We'll always seem to find our way to Christie Road
if there's one thing that I need
that makes me feel complete
well, I go to Christie Road, it's home.
It's home.
