LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-MAY 4, 2020…PUT 48 CANDLES ON A CAKE TODAY FOR MIKE DIRNT OF GREEN DAY AND CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY. HIS REAL NAME IS MICHAEL RYAN PRITCHARD. HIS NICKNAME IN SCHOOL WAS “DIRNT” BECAUSE HE CONSTANTLY PLAYED AIRBASS AND MADE THE SOUND “DIRNT DIRNT DIRNT” WHEN PRETENDING TO PLUCK THE STRINGS. DIRNT CAN BE SEEN IN THE ABOVE PICTURE WITH GREEN DAY STALKER BABY HUEY ANXIOUSLY WAITING FOR SECURITY TO REMOVE “THE HUE-STER” FROM THE RESTRICTED AREA. HERE’S THE ENTIRE SET FROM GREEN DAY WHEN THEY PERFORMED AT GREEN DAY IN 1994. IT STARTS OFF WITH DIRNT GIVING ONE OF THE GREATEST CONCERT INTROS I’VE EVER SEEN.
