I still tell people that this is my all-time favorite cartoon, so wanted to say thanks a million for creating one of the most deviant warped cartoons ever. Also as a fellow Python fan I remember thinking I was in some super-cool exclusive club for getting the lumberjacks reference.

I was wondering how the idea for Filburt being a Woody Allen homage came about, something which embarrassingly only dawned on me in the last year.

Big fan, I'd love seeing any or all of these answered:

1) How'd you guys get into reggae?

2) What were your favorite records when you were starting out/just getting into music?

3) What do you think of bands like U2, Rage Against the Machine, and Pearl Jam who were clearly influenced by you?

4) Did you have band meetings where you guys explicitly said to each other what kind of message you wanted to get across, or even just the fact that you wanted to be a socially/politically conscious band?

Hi Roger! Big fan, I've got a bunch of questions:

1) The Who seemed to be the one hugely popular band that the Ramones, the Clash, and the Sex Pistols could agree on. What did you think of punk rock when it broke around 1977?

2) Is Pete the kind of songwriter that has his chords and melody lines fully developed and presents that to the band, or would you be the one coming up with the melodies?

3) Was there a certain year, like maybe around 1969 or 1970 after Woodstock, that you noticed a sudden huge jump in popularity, or did the Who's rise seem more gradual to you?

4) Also, have you seen the Animaniacs' Who's on first? Woodstock routine?

Thanks for all the music!
