Today's Fan Question: "During your shows, you and your bandmembers always seem to be having a good time, laughing at what appear to be inside jokes. Do you have particular topics or comments that you bring up in conversations with the audience that are designed to give the guys a chuckle? (Lisa Balderson, Charleston, WV)

Read Joe's Answer:

Joe: That is a very insightful question, Ms. Lisa. No, usually if it's an inside joke on the stage, its usually when one of us has screwed up or has done something really foolish, or something we can make fun of ourselves. We never play off the crowd to ourselves. That would be kind of pointless. But sometimes I do get the feeling that people are watching when somebody does something wrong. We say something about it in the talk-back microphone where only the band can hear it. It does feel kind of strange not letting everybody in on the joke, but make no mistake — they're always about us.
