september is coming up so hereâs your yearly reminder to leave billie joe armstrong the fuck alone
Well of course. We donât wake him up until October 1st.
His dad is dead, just donât.
In case anyone reading my blog is unaware, this is a reference to the Green Day song titled âWake Me Up When September Endsâ a song that Billie Joe Armstrong wrote following the death of his father in September of 1982 when Billie Joe was ten years old. The title of the song references his desire to sleep through September in an effort to get some emotional distance from the death of his father.
Heâs since been open about the emotional difficulty of having written the song since many people now message him on October 1st to âwake him upâ despite the song being a memorial to his departed father.
Itâs generally seen as respectful to not try to wake him up. Let him sleep and let him remember his father in peace.
reblogging again because the end of September is coming up. leave him alone.
Reblogging as a reminder to leave Billie Joe Armstrong the fuck alone on October 1st and any day after it if your message is going to contain anything to do with âwakingâ him up because September will be over.
