What Music Means to Me, Early Teens

Someone bought me a Bullet in a Bible DVD for Christmas one year in my early teans because they knew I liked Green Day and after watching it I had a little obsession with them. It was a DVD of a live tour they did which was about 2 hours long and I'd sit cross legged in front of my TV watching it over and over again till I knew all the words. I was first starting to really listen to and understand the lyrics in songs, so I liked that their music was so real. I also loved the main singer, Billie Joe Armstrong, he had complete control over any audience and I was desparate for so long to go and see them live.
