Last night, I won the lotto for American Idiot, having not seen Armstrong in the role (and kind of wanting to) I was excited. his performance was good and indeed different then that of Vincent's. And, it was great to see another performers take on Will (Van Huges.)
However, something odd and interesting happened to me at the stage door. i joined the crowd and was standing in front of two autograph hounds. There was a boyfriend/girlfriend couple and the boyfriend was heckling one of them saying to his girlfriend that the guy will indeed help her get an autograph if she slipped him a twenty. He responded back that no one heckles the boyfriend for doing his job (he called it job, they are so cute at that age.)
Regardless I got Van's signature and a couple of others then decided to leave before the madness began. Van had asked one of the guys in front of me (an autograph hound) to pass back my playbill to me because he couldn't reach. The guy said that he would give me back my playbill for a twenty otherwise forget it. I never understood why and then I realized. A playbill saying that Armstrong is in the cast as St. Jimmy is something that he could maybe make a couple off bucks off it. I just walked away and realized that it was not worth the fight.
Still odd though.
