The song Basket Case featured in Green Day’s album Dookie was shockingly written in the group’s headquarters. A place of which singer Billie Joe Armstrong ate, smoked, slept, and recovered from harsh performances. It was less of a crashpad than it was a shabby student basement in California college of Berkley.
