I'm putting together some questions to email Ted Leo (not my preferred method by far, but it's what's available) and wondering if there's anything you all would want to hear from him. I know there are some fans here and the new record is in that political/poppy/wordy vein he's been doing very well for over a decade.

What say you, Obs?

ask why he turned down a 6 figure sync license for an unnamed consumer product in 06

Ask him about "The World Is In The Terlet".

Was your confrontational attitude toward Wonkette's then-videographer, Liz Glover, a result of her rejecting a sexual advance?

When you get older, will you go by Theodore?

how much has your New Jersey upbringing influenced your songwriting?

is he getting any royalties from Loookout for the 3 records he did with them?

And make the Pharmacists go by "Alvin" and "Simon" ?

"howya doin'?"

i was looking for the :wiff: emoticon. youre lucky

Ask if he's ever heard from Johnny since "Timorous Me?"

Ask him why he's always wearing white pants.

why did you call me in 2001 to get a gig at my school that maybe 10 people would have shown up to and then have the nerve to ask me for $1000

i'm guessing chad's going to be going with his own questions.

Haha. While I didn't directly use any of these, they did steer my thinking somewhat in the questions I did ask.
So thanks to all for the help. I'll post the link when my story runs in a couple weeks.
