First off, thanks so much for your music. You manage to go from silly/lighthearted to deep/meaningful and back again without skipping a beat, and it's a damn good representation of how life actually works.
1) You're most known for a handful of songs (If I Had A Million Dollars, Pinch Me, One Week, etc). In your opinion, what song(s) actually best represent the band? Which songs do you wish had gotten more attention?
2) Specific question: What's the real story behind Old Apartment? Is the guy actually breaking into his ex-GFs apartment? Or is he still with the GF and living somewhere else? What was the inspiration? [EDIT: I know this has been answered a few times in the past, but the lyrics just don't seem to match up with the "official story" of a couple revisiting their first apartment.]
3) Sorry, a Steven question: He's a flawed person, however his music and work has positively affected the lives of millions of people. There are a number of people like this: Steve Jobs comes to mind. What are your thoughts on this correlation -- do the ends justify the means in situations like this?
Can't wait to see you guys at the Mountain Winery (6/25)!
