Post your questions for Todd Rundgren

Ask the Philly singer, songwriter and Meat Loaf producer about his music, his collabs with Sparks and Robyn and more ahead of his UK tour

Post your questions for Todd Rundgren

In recent years we’ve been living through something of a Todd Rundgrenaissance: the Philly songwriter’s music has appeared in films such as Licorice Pizza and The Worst Person in the World and TV shows such as And Just Like That and Ozark. (If you haven’t spent any time with Healing Pt 1 on a loop recently, I recommend rectifying that now.)

Long resident in Hawaii, Rundgren will be crossing the globe later this month to perform some of his greatest hits on a UK tour – and sitting for the Guardian reader interview ahead of those appearances. Perhaps you might like to ask him about why he wanted to produce Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell in order to make fun of Bruce Springsteen; his love of Laura Nyro; what his 1973 album A Wizard, a True Star ordained for bedroom poppers; collaborating with the likes of Robyn and Sparks; what he thinks, as a famed adopter of technological advancements in music, of the rise of AI; turning down the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame and why he’s encouraging his fellow Americans to avoid fighting hate with hate.

Ask Rundgren about that, or indeed anything else, by posting your questions in the comments by noon BST on Friday 10 October and the best questions will appear in a future issue of Film & Music.
