From the time of your work at Standford to the problems at Abu Ghraib, it seems that our approach toward incarceration hasn't changed much. Do you think this is the case? When I was a journalist (now a psychologist) we'd visit prisons and it always felt as though they were run on "this is how it's always been done" rather than on research-based principles. How can this be changed?

It was all about how good your stereo was. Everyone was into how many watts, the separation, woofers and tweeters, blah blah, but you could go over to any random stoner's house and hear music of WAY higher sound quality than just about anywhere now. I wonder if it changes the dynamics of song writing and composition - like writing for a shitty AM radio instead of a nice stereo system. Thanks for the response!

Thanks for doing this! How have you seen the band's earning potential change as we've moved into the age of easy digital distribution? And, as someone who grew up in the 70s and was way into stereo gear, do you think the new generation of fans is missing out on what music really sounds like? I mean, so much 128k music out there, listened to via cheap earbuds!
