Long time fan of the show and CCR in general. I just have a couple short questions.

1) When you guys pick extra heavy topics, specifically things like Colunbine, Waco, and 9/11, how much trepidation do you have before diving in? Obviously your research is well thought out, but are there any concerns of backlash when doing a series like that?

2) How did Holden become the human trash pile as we know him today?

3) I know you guys get a lot of cool stuff sent to you, what's your favorite gift you've received? As an aside, is there anything that hasn't been sent to the Creek yet that you guys would really enjoy? (I've considered sending stuff before, but down want to overload you with duplicates.)

4)Henry, how long are you going to keep Ben on notice?

Keep up the good work guys, megustalations!

I second this, Texas needs Marcus back. I'd drive all over this big dumb state to catch a live show.

I've had the great pleasure offering her a few times, I can confirm that she is in fact even cooler than she seems.

Dude, absolutely love your work, can't wait to see you in Dallas again and I'm stoked for the new album, now for my questions.

Your songs are incredibly personal and often very dark, but in person you seem like a really laid back, fun loving guy. Whats the balance between the happy Ben that I'vert and the Ben that wrote Heartbreak Hotel and Scar Gardens.

Also, you're 30 now, have you shot a gun yet?
