"Hey Dave, will you play drums on all the Tenacious D albums?"

"Sure"

How did you develop your signature vocal style?

Wow I am very excited for this one. I have a million questions, but I'll limit it to one that has been on my mind since almost day one, and I've never really seen it addressed anywhere.

I'd like you to discuss your treatment of sexuality in the show and movies. Clearly there are heterosexual and homosexual relationships among your characters, as well as bisexual ones. The entire universe of the show seems completely open to, and not particularly threatened by, Mr. Lahey and Randy's relationship, for example. All of the characters seem to have a very "live and let live" attitude towards everyone else's sexuality, and no one seems surprised at who anyone in the show chooses to love.

Was making sexuality a "non-issue" amongst the characters an intentional decision? Perhaps it was a social statement? Or was it more of a practical decision that evolved out of shooting and writing the show? It is a truly unique element in a show like TPB and--to me, anyway--contributes greatly to the characters' universe.

Very smart, that publicist of yours. Reddit is like a prime time TV demographic goldmine and this will drum up a lot of PR for PR. Plus it seems like you're having fun answering questions.

I don't have any questions but I want to say I love the show. PR and 30 Rock aren't only the best shows on NBC but they're the best shows on broadcast right now. Keep up the good work!

I've been a musician for fifteen years. A band I play in has recently (independently) released the best album of our career, but it feels like a drop in the bucket. I know this music is good but we cannot seem to penetrate even the lowest gatekeeper of the "music industry." My questions are:

  1. What do you think the state of independent music is like in 2013 compared to how it was in, say, 1969?

  2. How has the importance of "being signed" changed over your decades of experience?

  3. Which is a greater indicator of success in the music industry, talent or connections?

Thanks for bringing so much amazing music to the ears of the masses over the years!
