The article mainly discusses what prompted Billie Joe to write American Idiot along with why Billie was so involved during the whole production of the musical.

MM: What was your first reaction when I first approached you about making this show?
BJA:I never hesitated for a second. I always have this thing: "Go where the music takes you," and that's where I felt like the music was taking us.

MM: You've been involved in this show to a degree that's surprising. Why was that important to you?
BJA: It was a growing love for the project. When people are cool, I like to get close to them, and I like to share whatever I have as well.
