1) From your songs ("Sons of Liberty"), as well as from others who have had conversations with you, I've gathered that you are a political libertarian. Yet, certain songs from both your past ("Thatcher") and more recent works ("Glory Hallelujah") have had a decided communitarian theme to them; some might argue that these values are mutually incompatible. I was wondering if you could speak to how you feel those themes intersect in your work.
2) I believe you did a show in San Francisco recently with Micah Schnabel from Two Cow Garage opening, and you've done some things in the past with his label (Suburban Home). I was wondering how that show went and if you had any more Suburban Home-related artist collaborations planned for the future. I know you share a fan base with those artists, particularly amongst the so-called Illuminati (as you call it). Yeah, we're everywhere.

Hi Frank,
Two questions:
1) From your songs ("Sons of Liberty"), as well as from others who have had conversations with you, I've gathered that you are a political libertarian. Yet, certain songs from both your past ("Thatcher") and more recent works ("Glory Hallelujah") have had a decided communitarian theme to them; some might argue that these values are mutually incompatible. I was wondering if you could speak to how you feel those themes intersect in your work.

Thanks for the AMA!
