So Jay had been particularly active over the last few days on Twitter; here are his full Q&A sessions:
Whew! That was a lot! I laughed at Christy's tweets and Jason's responses, especially the Broken quote... I highlighted in red some of my favourites, for those who don't want to read them all. Keep an eye out, Twitterers, for his Q&A sesh tomorrow!
*The track with JNH to which he's referring is Hourglass.
** A new track is supposed to be called 'Hurricane'... does this mean...? No it doesn't, stop overthinking everything Robert. Okay
