When asked about Billie Joe said about religion: "I have nothing against religion," says Armstrong. "But some religions try to take advantage of people's blind faith. I'm all for spirituality. There is nothing more spiritual than the Rock 'n' Roll ". It seems to Billie Joe is concerned about the issue of religion, he says have nothing against it, what is critical to people taking advantage of people's faith. That reminds me of something John Lennon said "There is only one God, and that's not the clergy is enriched as charlatans." It seems that there is a point of equivalence between the views of the two, despite being from different generations. In some songs Billie Joe talks about prayer, about faith, hope and even the odd name of God:
Dry Ice Yesterday late at night I had a dream And she was at it again She and I were in heaven Flying hand in hand I awoke in a cold sweat Wishing she was by my side Praying for her to dry the tears Left on my face because I cried.
One of my lies: I used to pray all night Before going to bed My mom said she was fine Hers also ... why?
The grouch. Oh God, I'm becoming like my father I'm always rude and I have a bad attitude
Church on Sunday If I promise to go to church on Sunday Would you go with me on Friday night? If you live with me, I will die for you and this compromises.
Sorry I can't make it tomorrow - I have a rehearsal in Hollyweird at exactly the same time you are playing! I'm working on this cloning thing so I can be 2 places at once but it isn't perfected yet.
