Hey Ben! Huge fan! In fact, I moderate over at /r/BenFolds.

My question to you is, do you ever worry about opinions of yours being misconstrued when you write songs from the perspective of other people? A lot of your songs feature different characters who fall along all different areas of opinions, the political spectrum, etc. but even when you use "I" in your songs, it doesn't necessarily refer to you, Ben Folds. For example, Away When You Were Here is written from the perspective of a person whose dad died, but as far as I know your dad is still alive and well. Do you write songs like this in order to relate to different people, or is it just something you like to do to keep your songs fresh?

Also come to Canada more please!

edit: So I figured this was worth posting. I just got a ring on my doorbell, I opened the door, and it turns out my So There order came in early. Not only that, but I was the first order on the Premium Deluxe Edition, apparently. Here's an album:
