but what about kids who grow up in households without that support?

Hey Wayne,

Don't take this question the wrong way, but why do you guys ignore most of your (brilliant) back-catalog? I know that you must all be really pumped about the endless stream of new and exciting material that you put out, but there are plenty of fans (like myself) who discovered you post-Soft-Bulletin, and would die to hear stuff from those early Warner albums live.

You used to include some throwbacks in live sets- Mountain Side was a mainstay from 2007-2008 if I recall correctly (and the couple of times I saw it, it very nearly stole the show!) but those days seem to have disappeared. I love what you're doing now, but a lot of us would love to experience bits of the past!!

How would you respond to the criticism that AmeriCorps exploits and undervalue young bodies/labor? I think for a long time the corps was a legitimate and worthwhile way to build skills and find an entry point for a career-- these days it often seems that the organizations taking AmeriCorps money and running programs are just interested in cheap labor to fund their non profit operations, and the members are catching on-- recruitment is way down, corps "wages" have stagnated while even the most basic of jobs is now paying $15/hr, the education award hasn't remotely kept up with the price of education...etc. etc. How is it a viable option for anyone that doesn't already come from wealth and can afford to essentially subsidize AmeriCorps by paying their own living expenses for a year?

How did you come to play guitar on Beck's Milk & Honey? Will the other tracks you recorded with him ever see the light of day, and would you record with him again?
