So, I'm doing a search on Heart Like A Hand Grenade, and there's not a whole lot about it, except for mentions in various articles about the release of Live Freaky, Die Freaky. But God, did I laugh out loud at this, from LA Weekly:

Puppet Apocalypse--Starring members of Green Day, Rancid, X and more, Live Freaky! Die Freaky! is guaranteed to offend

During a snack break (Pringles), I ask Roecker what he says to people who might call him a starfucker. At first, he seems a little wounded, but then he gets all wry and haughty — the way that I remember him from back in his irascible retail days.

“Well, I haven’t fucked ’em yet. I wanna fuck ’em. . . . Are you kidding? I wanted to fuck Billie Joe Armstrong and all I got was this damn movie,” he says impishly. “It wasn’t a stalking kind of thing, if that’s what you’re getting at. Look, if I actually got laid by these people, I’d be happy to be called starfucker. I’d wear it as a badge of honor. I mean, c’mon, Tim and Billie are hot. Holy cow.”

*stares dumbfoundedly, open-mouthed*

I have no words for this. None, really. I just keep reading that second paragraph over, and over, and over, and over ... amazing!

I read that about 18 times or so, until my muscles unfroze enough for me to click to the update LJ page.

I was just skimming the article until that line jumped out at me like this:

I wanted to fuck Billie Joe Armstrong and all I got was this damn movie


Seriously, that's what it looked like to me.

Hahahaha! I'm so with you. I did a literal out-loud gulp when I read it.

(That sentence would make a hilarious T-shirt slogan, though, wouldn't it?)

Oh God! Could you imagine us all showing up to the movie premiere together wearing those t-shirts?

Oh hell, yes I could! Sadly, I could also imagine the police officers leading all of us crazies away, too, but the look on Billie's face might be worth it.

(and I bet Roecker would ask us to make him one, too ;)

Excellent article! The one time I don't pick up a copy of LA Weekly and this happens. LOL

And that ^^^^ snippet? Oh, man. Talk about something I'd like to see put on film. *waggles eyebrows*

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

Omg, I just LOVE it when fic context hands itself to me out of the blue like that. :D :D :D *runs off chuckling*

Fic context? Does this mean we can look forward to updates soonish? Cause that would be fantastic. Fan. Tastic. :D

Starfucker! You couldn't make-up anything better than that.

I wanted to fuck Billie Joe Armstrong and all I got was this damn movie. Ahahahaha! That's perfect, perfect. And you know if Billie was there he'd just be giggling his ass off. I love these guys.

Holy cow.

I was linked here by a friend and I just couldn't help but notice the irony of this line in the article:

He’s not unlike Rodney Bingenheimer in that sense, though he’s much more of a Svengali

I thought of [livejournal.com profile] the_fink when I read that line!

Hee! I play Dr. Svengali in our infamous Network RP, and as you may or may not know Dr. Svengali is actually John Roecker.

Ahh. I just know Simon has that neat Svengali/John icon. :-)

Roecker sure has a thing for people with the last name of Armstrong.

Ahahahahaha. That's awesome! And John has VERY good taste. =)
