I think he would be bewildered as to why the hell we all go on and on about all the silly little details.

Thank god he can't read!!

I'm afraid that Jay would stop releasing his music to the public if he read some of the shit that gets tossed around in this forum.

Jay's just a private guy. Most of the stuff people want to know are answered in press releases, interviews and such. The things people JUST HAVE to know are, by and large, things he's never talked about. He keeps in-house things in-house and always has. Looking through the first page of topics, I only see a couple that would be of interest to any artist. Mark jumps in now and then and takes care of some of those. It's just not Jay's style.

Hey what if the studio web cam were interactive and we were able to yell "whiskey bottle" at him in the studio. That would be cool!

I think that Jay should logged in at all times!!!

Unless he's writing, recording, driving to a show, or playing a show.

Plus he should reply to every topic.

this subject came up earlier this year when someone on the board with the name Jay Farrar who was obviously not Jay Farrar started posting a bunch of stuff. The following appeared in the SFGate around that time:

"Not that he ever looks at it; Farrar is both an unapologetic Luddite and almost completely uninterested in what's being said about him. He is startled to be shown printouts of e-mails from the Web site's chat rooms written by someone claiming to be Farrar. In one message, his doppelganger tells the e- mailing fans to "turn off your computers and go outside."

"Hmm, it does sound like something I might say, but this is not me," he mutters, perusing the pages. "Sometimes people will circulate erroneous press releases saying Uncle Tupelo is getting back together. It is strange whenever I'm exposed to it, but I don't really live on the World Wide Web."
