Billie Joe Armstrong learn the speech off some index playing cards as Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool had a giggle match subsequent to him. The speech went:
Wow. I don’t know what to say… I suppose the one factor I can say is, I’ll preserve rocking and rolling to maintain making music and higher songs. it appears we make these data and generally they’re thought-about filthy by some folks. However I don’t assume that’s true. This music we make could make folks really feel higher. They will help, they actually can, and I actually imagine that. So we are able to all the time do higher, so I’m going to maintain making an attempt if you happen to guys preserve making an attempt. Let’s preserve rocking and rolling.
The speech, albeit tweaked to make it extra music-oriented, is lifted from a scene in Paul Thomas Anderson’s 1997 movie Boogie Nights. It comes from a scene through which porn star Dirk Diggler, performed by Mark Wahlberg, accepts an honor at an grownup leisure awards ceremony. Inexperienced Day conveniently spliced that scene along with footage from their very own speech, which you’ll be able to watch under. Congratulations to each Dirk Diggler and Inexperienced Day.
