Reply To: What do you want to ask JoCo? (was: What do you want to know?)
Okay – I have a boat-load of questions. They could have been asked and answered already but . . .
1) What does he think of all of THIS? This fandom, this obsession? The incredible amount of time and energy we all put into this forum? Does he read any of this crap? Is he amused? Does he think that we are all a bit . . . off? My husband said this the other day: It’s like he planted seeds in a garden, put Bry in charge of the watering, fertilizing and cultivation and then he stands back and sees what sprouts.
2) How does the JoCo site compare with other fan sites? Never having explored to this extent (or ever posted on a forum) I have no idea. BUT – my guess would be that this is one of the most prolific.
3) I know most of you loathe politics but I am deeply involved. I also know that “The Presidents” has much innuendo despite its ending “I don’t like to make political statements.” But I also know that he was involved at a congressional hearing regarding CC and the internet. I would like to know this: Does he discuss politics with his friends? Does he think that the upcoming election is important? etc.
4) Many of his songs are filled with angst. I am interested to know if the “I’m not worthy” theme is personal or does it just make for a good connection to an audience who, (yes – I am going to say it) may not have a lot of confidence? (btw: I think that you are all – well, most all – quite superior in many ways) ;D
5) Does he ever listen to classical music or jazz? If so, what?
6) I want to know more about his writing process: What order? Lyrics, melody, harmony?
7) Also want to know more about the recording process – especially those tunes with many “tracks” (instrumentation, harmonies, etc.) Again, what is the order? Also – how many takes? How long from start to finish?
