Billie Joe recently was interviewed by the Noise: SFBG Music Bog talking about the American Idiot Musical. They also talk about how the making of the musical had helped inspire some of the aspects on 21st Century Breakdown and about how you “can’t download an autograph”.
I have so much respect for Michael. After seeing Spring Awakening, I knew he could come up with something that was great -- and be sincere to the album. And when I saw the first few workshops, I was blown away -- it was even more than I expected.

While on the same topic, Tre was interviewed by Star 101.3 concerning the musical as well which you can watch by clicking here.

Also, tonight kicks off the second leg of the 21st Century Breakdown tour in Lisbon, Portugal. Be sure to visit GDA after the show is over to see a full recap of the show. I hope that all of you that are going have an amazing time tonight!
