Bay Area Reporter: Green Day drummer on Donating to Out of the Closet
By: Roberto Friedman , Bay Area Reporter
San Francisco, CA - March 8, 2010
Tre Cool: tres chic
Drummer
Tre Cool, who blasts the beats for the Bay Area-based band
Green Day , was recently seen donating dozens of luxurious ready-to-wear designer duds to the Folsom St. branch of Out of the Closet thrift store. He also donated a bit of time to photojournalist
Cornelius Washington for an impromptu interview.
Cornelius Washington: You have incredible taste! Why the lust for designer clothes?
Tre Cool: Because I'm a male supermodel!
This is your second day donating. Why did you choose Out of the Closet?
The services! I love what they do, the help is direct, it goes right to the people who need it. This particular store is my favorite, it's got such a cool vibe, with cool people working in it. I also like the free HIV testing at the Polk St. and Church St. stores.
Do you think Green Day will ever write and perform something gay-specific, like a song about someone gay?
Well, we're all pretty gay, so I don't think that's necessary!
Future projects?
Taking our musical American Idiot to Broadway.
