Dave, I just want to say that I, and your true fans, appreciate everything you do, even if we don't like it. We understand that you are a real person, and I think that some people are being too harsh. You don't owe anybody anything, and dont think that you do. I might sound like an ass kisser to some people, but if other people want to get they're point across, then I will defend my standpoint as well. I just want to post this as a simple thank you to Dave and Jane's Addiction for the music. I appreciate the music that you create, it has made some very tough times a little easier to cope with, and it's comforting to know that I'm not alone. I just wanted to balance the scale and say that I will support you in whatever you do, and so do a lot of other people I know, we love to see you doing new things, and making new music. I hope you continue to experiment, because we all love to see what happens. We are here watching. I would like to personally thank you for all the awesome music Dave, thanks for making some days a little more bearable, and thanks for all the inspiration. Don't take anything too seriously.

Keep On Truckin,
Paperdove

Thanks so much for taking the time out to answer questions. Very cool.
Can't wait to hear the new music.

Anna

Hey Dave
I love your clothes (especially your jeans) and your style, is most the stuff custom made or is it designer brand.

thanks
Oli

Hello Dave

That is so touching about giving Kurt's guitar back to Frances. I have seen some recent photos of her, and she is so much like him to look at, I had to catch my breath.

On a different tack: I found a site yesterday on "Squirrel Fishing" (well 2 actually). Maybe it's my weird sense of humour, but I thought it was really funny...if you're looking for some inspiration, or are thinking of going along the "Primus" route, you should really look it up :)

urm...think I will go now...

The so-called fans on xiola.org are bitching really heavily about you, especially with the cancellation of lolla, they seem to have created a kind of Smiths-esque divide in regards to the band. Does this bother you at all ?

Hi Dave,

lol - good answers btw....and thanks again.

Hmm, i was wondering whether i should ask this but as you said there are no stupid questions...

Is there/do you have any material from OHM/post OHM which never had been published? I read some days ago that there was also some kind of documentary made about OHM....haha that should be really interesting to watch and wasn't part of the "My friends" studio video with the candles part of that docu? Well, this is all hearsay..hope you can shed some light on it and if there will ever be a chance to listen/watch.....(very unlikely i guess...)

Keep on rockin'....this site being up again is just the greatest...

lots of love,

whats even better is when u have been saving and its still not there,lol....

any chance of us hearing a preview of what youve been working on sometime?

Dave!
Which kind of sport you like?
love you and hate you:)

There are no stupid answers, only stupid questions. The only stupid answers are the ones you can't give out of politeness. I shall prove this to you now.

Example 1:(Scene from Clerks familiar to anyone who's ever worked behind any kind of counter)*
Customer (standing in front of shelf that says "Everything on this shelf is 99c"): "Is everything on this shelf 99c?"
Stupid Answer: "Why, yes. Yes it is. Thank you for asking."
Correct Answer (the one going through your brain at 900 miles an hour): "Don't you have EYES YOU MORON?? GET OUT BEFORE I SET THE DOGS ON YOU! OUT! RAUSS! RRRRRRAAAAUSSS!!"

Note that in this instance, the "correct" answer is never given. Instead, a stupid answer is given to a stupid question in order to avoid embarrassing the moron.
I call this the Nelson-Feynman conundrum after a famous customer service case I worked on several years ago in the undercover unit of the Factual Representations Directorate working out of a tin box in Lausanne.

Example 2: (Hypothetical)

Idiot Internet Poster: "dave u r a faggot and a weiner it iz al ur falt that perri is sad and you wur shit in de chilles to i hope you get aids and die u fag homo. Ur wife is hot tho can I shag her?"
Dave: "I appreciate your thoughts."

Note that in this example there is no "correct" answer to give since the object posing the question has no feedback process with which to process external information, therefore answering the question is essentially irrelevant. I call this the J-M Principle after a famous line manager of the above mentioned secret Directorate.
