hey, not all the questions were bad! he answered what the 84 was, which was what i had guessed.

i only read some of the questions, it was making my computer run too damn slow, i'll read through them later, though...

Deb said he's writing out a transcript (right?)

Also, I didn't know that about 84. I thought he meant getting to age 84 takes a lifetime. Now when I drive on that road I'll geek out like I do when I drive on Highway 9.

It was definitely quantity over quality. Some questions you could tell he'd only half read.

So I'm guessing there weren't any stunning revelations during this? I was in class.

Yeah I'll get on that now, I'll only do the ones he answered.

Not that anyone cares.. I'm a huge Yankees fan and saw that Jack Curry who covers YES network news tweeted back to me saying he loved gaslight! Awesome!

That's what she said?



Yes? No?

oh well. i think its still cool to do a live chat. noone has ever said that there will only be music or album related questions answered.
we also knew there are not gonna be specific news on dates or anything.

Here's the transcript everyone, it took like 4 hours straight but its finally done

If i remember right there's like 100 (120ish?) sum questions so its really long.

If you notice anything wrong let me know, I cut out most, if not all, of the @/hashtags. So you will see the persons user name and question, followed by Brian's answer.


Also if you notice an answer doesn't make sense, I think Brian miss read some of the questions.

The gum... why must it be the gum!?!

You have to wonder how much longer it woulda gone on if Twitter hadn't cut him off! Most musicians/actors/etc. I follow only do a Q&A for like 15 minutes and only cus they're sitting around bored waiting for a plane or something. So he pretty much went above & beyond my expectations.

Thanks for that. It was difficult to figure out what question he was answering since the way Twitter works is weird if someone asked a question that was a reply to his reply to someone else, etc. This makes a lot more sense!

Can't believe he dissed The Beatles!

I'm gonna log on to MopTopNews right now and call him out (and fat!)

I asked seven questions and didn't get an answer

Thanks so much for transcribing the chat, Andrew! Some of the questions and answers were pretty interesting!

Thanks Andrew for the transcript. It was so difficult to follow in real time - this absolutely helps!

Nice work on the transcript, Andrew! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hey everybody.

I got a question again. (Oh no! Not again !)

You know, as a french guy, politic in the US seems a little bit complicated ^^
Brian said he was a patriot. When I search informations about it, I get contradictory informations.

So I'm not here to jugde his political beliefs and I don't want to start a debate or whatever, but if someone could explain what is a patriot concretely, it would be super nice !

Have a good day/night everyone

Aslo, thank you for your transcript !

I think it was just a way to avoid the question, you can translate patriot with its french equivalent

I think you could read the patriot comment one of two ways. It either means he supports the right-wing-fringe Tea Party groups (who often call themselves patriots) or he is an American who believes in America. It would be the equivalent of saying "I don't support Sarkozy or Le Pen - I support France!"

I have to think he meant the latter and not the former, since he said during the Asbury Park Red Bull interview he wasn't political and supports "whoever is going to kill the least amount of people."

Edited to add: I agree with Plugga! I think he was trying to avoid the question too

Thank's a lot for your help !
