As the title says..

If you had the opportunity to personally ask Jim Johnston only ONE question, what would it be??

Thinking this could be a great thread as to what everyone would want to be answered by the man himself :)

I always had two questions.
"How do you feel about making tons of music that your fans enjoy, but rarely have the chance to properly enjoy listening to?"
"Why do you choose to add curse words into some theme songs when they will be censored anyways? i.e. Rodney Macks "I don't care"
I don't care
You mother f*ckers say what you want
Cause if it's me against the world

I think the "add swear words just to censor them" thing is just to bring the music in line with regular commercial music. But I'd be curious to hear JJ's response. There's many others, like Ezekiel Jackson's "Domination" and Stephanie McMahon's "All Grown Up"

Anyway, what I'd like to ask JJ (in a respectful way) is, what is the point of releasing remixes on albums when it's easy enough to just throw the actual arena version in there instead? They've been doing that since the days of Full Metal, where Shawn Michaels' and Hakushi's themes were not arena versions (though I understand that HBK's was remixed to make it stereo).
