What to do about Theater Boy? That was the question vexing Peggy Walbridge and David Field as the two admissions readers paged through his application to Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. With a 1,420 SAT score, solid grades and top scores on two Advanced Placement exams, the applicant - we're calling him Theater Boy to protect his identity - certainly looked like Cornell material. He had appeared in professional music productions and helped raise over $50,000 to stage plays at his school. "That's pretty amazing," Walbridge muttered. Field chuckled as he read through the applicant's essay about...

...ongoing exchange with the crowd, often rambling but rarely preaching. The kids were clearly fans-there was a loud cheer for the switch to Billie Joe's standard Stratocaster guitar, affectionately known as Ol' Blue. It wasn't surprising, then, that requests ranged from early-era "Disappearing Boy," found on 1990's indie release 39/Smooth, to semi-joke track "Dominated Love Slave" from their second album Kerplunk! On the latter, a fan was brought up from the audience to play drums, but when she was unable to keep up, was half-seriously told, "You suck...

...statement to scale down cinema and bring an honesty, directness,and more personal style that was previously found in filmmaking giants such as Bresson, Dreyer and Ozu. This decree has spawned the use of handheld video over 35mm film, as well as bizarre filmic experiments such as julien donkey-boy, Mifune and The Celebration...
