Oh my God! Someone's posting in the Q&A forum!
I'd vote for Bob Welch's too. He was tough at times, but I think he tried to be fair or admitted when he knew he couldn't be fair. What more can you ask?
Everyone is going to find their comfort level in terms of what they want to share in a different place, so I certainly can't fault those who felt more protective about some things. It's sort of the nature of the beast that the closer we get to having guests with direct, close and current connections to the bandmembers, the more tight-lipped they'll become because they're protecting friends, friendships and privacy. We are, after all, perfect strangers to these folks and here we are sometimes asking delicate questions.
I would tend to say that those who answered in one-liners or under apparent duress, as you said, were probably the most disappointing just in terms of the time they couldn't/didn't spend. I really wanted to enjoy Ken Caillat's Q&A, but half way through when he seemed to feel like he had to answer 30 questions in 10 seconds flat, a lot was lost.
It's funny how some of these Q&As prove out the theory that fans know more than the subjects themselves sometimes.
