Green Day References ‘Boogie Nights’ Dialogue During Acceptance Speech at iHeartRadio Music Awards
Green Day referenced dialogue from the 1997 film 'Boogie Nights' during their acceptance speech at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.

And if it truly went over heads, Green Day posted a side-by-side of their speech with its source of inspiration.
