When billy watches The Four Eyed Bastards (Febs) sing a sentimental song about friendship, he gets really upset. Apparently the Febs or the song they interpreted had a very strong effect on him.
Probably he suffered because that event remembered him of the night in which Dresden was bombed and destroyed. Where the four guards huddled together and with their mouths open, seemed like a silent film of a barbershop quartet. (just as the Febs)
As this had a strong impact on him, I believe that other reason why he was upset was because he felt lonely, and even his time travels support this idea.
Being lonely, is probably one of the saddest things I can think of and Billy experiences this constantly during the novel. Either he feels alone because all of the time travels. Because he couldn't relate to any human being that surrounded him and the Tralfamadorians weren't really his friends. Or, the destruction of Dresden had a huge impact on him and everything he did (like his time travels)were merely distractions, to keep himself occupied. To escape from the loneliness that attacked him.
