I agree with that a lot, but it will need to be somebody who hopefully will actually have some good background info on Al and question related things, because one thing we'd hate to see it become is just a constant repeat of the same questions! Some of us longtime fans have the best questions to ask him, and not the typical 'Any parody ideas for the next album?!?' or 'What's your favorite album you've ever released?'

As I said, one of Al's personal friends is hopefully going to talk to him about this in the near future, someone with all the right credentials to do a good job, if only he has the spare time

Yeah, it's a good idea to have a moderator because while it was cute to watch Al reading and thinking while trying to find a good comment, I'd say a good 1/4-1/2 of the time was spent looking for questions.

I hate to choose people, but the best person for the job, IMO, would be Bermuda since he's web savvy, knows A LOT about Al, and sometimes stops by here to see fan reactions/opinions on topics like new songs and such so I think he'd know the "demand" on the answers to some questions. Plus, he also has a sense of humor and could stick some funny questions in there for Al's reactions. (Which we clearly all enjoyed )

I just hope the next one goes smoother, and hopefully not as many oddities with the whole technical thing (that strange blackout and the volume on the mic sometimes...loved the whole screaming and voice thing, but sometimes it got way too loud for my ears)

(Edited this post because of post above me made a very good point Bermuda would be a very good moderator/proofreader and he does know a good amount about technology)

Nobody asked about Crazy Cow Therapist?!

I tried.. about 10 times...

lol...that's too bad he didn't bring it up. :/

Well, CCT is the most elusive Al song. I think he must like keeping us in the dark about it.

Still, how awesome was it that we all got to just simply hang out with Al for a whole hour?
