Billie Joe did a great interview with Maxim magazine. Kudos to them for asking some non-standard, entertaining questions. "Do the curtains match the drapes", "Is it true you sometimes pee the bed?", "What were you like as a kid?". They also talk about his 2003 arrest, and Billie Joe mentions that he'd like to thrown his hat into the ring to be the new "King of Pop".

Thanks to aahhhh on the forum for scanning the article. We really need more interviews that show this side of the band. I was getting tired of the constant serious tone in most interviews since 21st Century Breakdown.

Maxim.com also listed Billie Joe in the top 5 Rock Star Performances of "Take Me Out To the Ballgame" (others included Eddie Vedder, Ozzy Osbourne, John Fogerty, and Wilco). Full List here. Billie Joe sang at the Cubs game last month; Tre threw out the first pitch.
