I’m glad that Billie Joe will be performing tomorrow on ABC because his father was a victim of throat cancer and I’m proud that he would like to stand up and support the other victims of cancer all over the world. He is a role model for everyone because he came from nothing and now he’s being honored as one of the biggest musicians of all time. Give him credit for that, even if you might not like him or his music just admit that he is a genuine person and truely cares for people.
