Billie Joe recently spoke to NME about No Fun Mondays, new music and Donald Trump's defeat. It's a brief but fun interview that gives us an insight into Billie Joe's cover choices and what might be next for Green Day, who are not The Network.

I love melodies and feel like that’s in my DNA. I also love doing things that are unexpected or doing songs that people haven’t really heard before. I did ‘Not That Way Anymore’ by Stiv Bators, which is a really rare power-pop song. That was really fun. Everything felt really spontaneous. I have a covers band called The Coverups, and we just go to local clubs to play and a lot of our friends come out. It’s all just about having fun and tying into my tastes in music too.
