Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) is also about 'the one girl who got away' who is Amanda, which the song 'She' is about. So not BS. Amanda was one girl that didn't care that Billie was getting famous at the time and she broke up with him to join the Peace Corps. You want proof? In the book "Nobody Likes You" written by Marc Spitz , it explained by Erica Paleno (Billie Joe's first serious girlfriend at age 16) "Nesser was not the songwriters sole inspiration. It was around this time Billie Joe began a relationship with another Gilman Street punk rocker named Amanda. A bit of an iron-willed feminist, Amandas naturally rebellious character proved another great influence on Billie....She was fierce. She was also the first girl to dump him. "He got really into her, and she left him" Paleno says. " She didnt care about his success later, either. She bailed and joined the Peace Corps." His inability to impress or insnare Amanda for long wounded Billie Joe. She is the subject of Good Riddance (Time of Your Life), one of Green Days biggest hits and one of the most misinterpreted pop songs of the last 2 decades ( a bitter kiss-off, heard by most as a sweet love song). Whether or not Amanda was the mythical "one that got away" is not really important. Whats interesting is that Armstrong has never stopped writing about her ...or the idea of her. "Shes A Rebel" on American Idiot is also based on her influence. She made him tougher by sharing her fiesty views, and somehow older by breaking or at least scarring his heart." |

| I'd think it's Tre's daughter, cuz she lived in New York. In the American Idiot album when Tre sings in Rock N' Roll Girlfriend, he mentions he's got a kid in New York = Ramona. :D | |
