I'm now trying to picture Mitch Hedberg do a joke of yours. It's almost unsettling.

First off, thank you for the years of music. From being 16 and getting 'Sticks and Stones' the day it came out, to having 'Coming Home' playing through my whole deployment, to having 'Kill it Live' for my commute now. It's amazing how much of a mental time travel your music gives me.

Listening to the new music, especially like 'Selfless' and 'Stubborn', there is a lot more live-friendly stuff on the album than say 'Coming Home' did. When you write and record, do you do it with performance in mind, or are studio and stage separate beast entirely?

Also, if you want, something I always find fascinating about musicians with longer careers is, what is it like playing a song that was written in such a drastically different time in your life? For instance, do 'Hit or Miss' or  'The Story So Far' even mean to you now what they did over a decade ago?

Thanks!
