Three people dead or alive you would invite to your gig, and why?
Louis Burdett - He sounded like fun, Weird al dressed like a fat Michael J and Bon Scott... just to make sure he doesn't mind.

Leonard Cohen, Beach Boys and the tracking for our new album.

Suing each other, going solo, selling our songs to discount electrical stores. Dating younger, taller, and often one legged woman and mourning the death of music.

Work harder than we do, to deadlines... And make sure you enjoy yourself...
