I'll be right there with you — although I became a fan after American Idiot, my interest tapered off between it and 21CB and honestly I didn't follow much of that album's promotion at all because I was getting ready to start college and worried about other things. The trilogy was the only album I've really watched happen from start to finish (or demise, I suppose), and I've never experienced an actual onslaught of Green Day news, promotion, tours, etc. It'll be interesting to see, and it will definitely a big deal to me too! [cue "fake fan" comments, etc., I know ]
