It's rare to see a political interviewer even "push back." The norm seems to be a question like "Tell me what you think about topic X." After that, "tell my more about it" or "Tell me about something else."

Almost never do you hear "Wait a minute, you said "y" - I'm going to challenge you on that. In public."

Guess we can't get what we want.

Talk about the difference between "Tech" interviews and "Political" interviews. You seem prepared to engage and hold your interview subjects accountable in a way that doesn't happen in the political world. Why? Is it fear of losing access? Something else?

Hi Dan, two questions

1) You say that "intimate, singer-songwriter stuff is not the way you "feel" music" anymore" Can you elaborate?

2) Which house concert series serves the best lasagna in your opinion?

Thanks for #1 - as to #2, we're in Vermont now but still doing it at http://www.billsvillehouseconcerts.com/

Dan covered Elliot Smith's "Waltz #2" at our house. Listen and enjoy: https://soundcloud.com/billsvillehouseconcerts/waltz-2-elliott-smith-cover
