I think it's a pretty fair bet that within the next month we might get a new Ask Al. The new album is now over two weeks old and I'm sure we all have some burning questions about Straight Outta Lynwood to submit for Ask Al.
In light of this recent thread, I was curious about who he might have talked to this time one to one rather then through the label or if he has heard any reactions from any of the artists he parodied, polkad, style parodied, etc. If this is also something you're interested in, send a message to Ask Al. I'm sure he'd be happy to tell us if there were any stories that the fans would like to hear.

Good point, Jon...I'd love to hear Green Day's response, e.g...I think the next Mothership update will hopefully have some new pictures for us to peruse, and as you said, it's very likely there will be an Ask Al Update soon...you know they have to just be getting SWAMPED with questions from newbie fans...so I'll take any stories I can get, but I find artists' reactions particularly interesting, so that'd certainly suffice.TMBJon @ Oct 12 2006, 02:03 AM wrote: I think it's a pretty fair bet that within the next month we might get a new Ask Al.

Mark Mothersbaugh on DTBS, from Behing The Music
ok, here is Doug Feiger, lead singer of the Knack. Also from BTM
EDIT: might want to add to the first post - Prince has always said no.
EDIT: DANG. it was posted earlier. I wasted 10 minutes for nothing.
I was in shock. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.
He sort of re-sculpted that song into something else. And, um, I hate him for it, basically.

later on
I don't know how he got my address, but in the mail came this cassette of this guy playing the accordion, Sounded like in his bathroom, singing crazy lyrics to My Sharona. An I loved it, and I took it to Bruce Raven, RA&R[?] guy at Capitol Records and said "You gotta sign this guy".
I met him at a gig backstage -- He brought a... gigantic balogna
