ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Thank you to Carrie Borzillo-Vrenna, my friend and coworker. Carrie did many of the original interviews used in the book, and did absolutely all of the driving in both Northern and Southern California. This book could not have been completed without her dedication and hard work. Thanks to Jaan Uhelszki, who did most of the archival interviews used for being here, another great friend and mentor.
Hal Horowitz, former lead singer of the Morning After, chose and coordinated all the great photos included here. Thank you to Hal and to the photographers, family members, and friends of Green Day who allowed us to reprint them.
Special thanks to James Fitzgerald and Anne Garrett of the James Fitzgerald Agency for all the moral support. Peternelle van Arsdale, who edited this book, for her vision, patience, and guidance throughout this long and sometimes bumpy process (and to Kiera Hepford, Miriam Wenger, and everyone else at Hyperion for all their hard work on the project). Elizabeth D. Goodman and Joni Mitchell (the hound) for putting up with my drama. Brian Bumbery for being a friend, and everyone at Warner Brothers Records for access to the press vaults (and the guest lists). David Townsend for being a wildly reliable and responsible transcriber. John Roecker, the cofounder of the Church of Lushology, for all the spiritual guidance and other things too. Pat Magnarella, Tyler Willingham, and everyone at Green Day’s management for putting up with my occasionally stalker-like behavior. Sia Michel Dors Brod and everyone at Spin. All other journalists who’ve written about or interviewed Green Day over the years and provided source quotes or insight for this project (the ones I know and the ones I’ve never met). Mr. Brendan Mullen for being there for me yet again when I needed talking off the ledge (and some good punk-or-not-punk debating). Thank you: Tracey Pepper, Lyle Derek, and Chris Vrenna, Cheryl Jenets, and Melissa Sabella from Rob Cavallo’s office, Steve Koepke, Marie Louise Fiatarone, Lawrence Livermore, Mark Kohr, Arica Paleno, and Anna Armstrong Humann. And finally thanks to Green Day themselves for being such an interesting and complex subject to research and write about, and for being a killer band. If you have to listen to one Bay Area modern rocker’s output over and over again during the course of a year, you could do a lot worse . . . like Primus.
