My wife was in a recital when she was 9. It was a Disney themed production. Dressed as Jimminey Cricket and singing "Wish Upon a Star" was a 5 year old Billie Joe Armstrong. She also went to high school with both Billie Joe and Mike Dirnt (then Mike Pritchard). She didn't know them, however, because they were not in class too much. But some of her friends hung out with them.

Billie Joe used to work at Rod's Hickory pit in Vallejo. During the timeframe he worked there, I used to eat there on my way from SF to sacto. So it's concievable that I have eaten pancakes cooked by the lead singer of Green Day.

Not sure how I feel about that.
