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.”

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