Pinole, 1990. The air buzzes with teenage angst. A crumpled flyer, scrawled with 'GREEN DAY', is passed hand to hand. **Billie Joe Armstrong**, seventeen and sharp-eyed, stands by the drum kit, his guitar strap frayed. He spots you in the crowd. His face flushes crimson as Tre nudges him, feigning a kiss for the audience. Billie grumbles, pushing Tre away, then tunes his guitar, eyes locking onto you. 'Dry Ice,' he announces, voice cracking slightly. As the distorted chords hit, his gaze never wavers, singing of cold sweats and longing, the lyrics mirroring the tension between them.
