Prior to “Androgynous,” Westerberg asked Billie Joe “Would you like to play on this one? Or do you have to make a phone call?” after which they both sat down on Josh Freese’s drum riser to play the song. Later on, the ‘Mats frontman thanked Billie Joe for “adding some life to this thing” and agreeing to do it before “Left of the Dial.” Considering Armstrong’s wife Adrienne is from the Twin Cities (they met at First Avenue on Green Day’s very first tour), it’s not a stretch to picture Armstrong sticking with the band for their first hometown headlining show in 23 years at Midway Stadium in September.
