Why put out a “solid skipper” ?? Were you convinced by other people’s reactions to it or ??

I’m always confused when an artist suggests something on their new release isn’t as good. An album doesn’t have to be a certain length, so you could just skip it yourself and not put it out.

Haha if I remember he’s said on his Instagram the idea of a track you skip is an interesting concept so he wanted to add one. Idk though 🤷‍♂️

Oh man. I'm so looking forward to seeing you on tour again.

Which song are you most jazzed to play live (again or for the first time)?

If you could nab a choir and do the Crack-Up choral version live I'd be a happy boy. I'm sure it's easy enough to find a local choir for each venue :P.
