Rock and roll sure has come a long way since the days of Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, and their private jets. Green Day singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, the voice behind hits like “Longview” and “Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life),” was recently asked to leave a Southwest Airlines flight out of Oakland, California for wearing his pants too low.
After being asked to pull up his pants by a stewardess, Armstrong asked whether she had “better things to do than worry about that.” When he refused a second request, he was ejected from the plane. After posting about it on Twitter, however, the singer became part of a growing list of celebrities to receive an apology from Southwest after complaining about them on social media.
