Hello Andy! First off let me say I have been a huge fan of you and XTC all my life. I can pinpoint most XTC songs to the time where I first heard them and some of your songs have a great memory associated with them for me.

  1. Do you personally think XTC was underrated?

  2. If you could go back in time and change things in order to make XTC more commercially successful, what would you do?

  3. Is the rumour true that there is a male version of the Skylarking cover and it's you?

Also, could you check out these videos? I try and get the lyrics to XTC songs in emails to a Christian TV show. Would be awesome if you saw some :)

Kinda offtopic but in this live performance did you "mess" with the lyrics a bit or do I just not hear right..? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F787gCCVP2Y

All the Muslim ones I can find are only call-in, I like a bit of a challenge with the emails lol. They usually have funnier reactions and say crazier things though so if there are any I would definitely try to get some in.

"Over here where I live, in the Western world full of infidels, they are hypocritical. They claim that we are backwards and do not respect Muhammad (PBUH). Here in the West it's just the same, except they use make-up veils!"

That might get through, I've become pretty good at making them up on the spot after 6 years of it lol.
