In recent years, Todd Rundgren has experienced a resurgence in popularity, with his music featured in films such as Licorice Pizza and The Worst Person in the World, and TV shows including And Just Like That and Ozark. The Philadelphia-born singer-songwriter, best known for producing Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell, will embark on a UK tour later this month.
Rundgren will sit for a reader interview with the Guardian ahead of his performances. Readers are invited to submit questions on topics such as his decision to produce Bat Out of Hell as a parody of Bruce Springsteen, his admiration for Laura Nyro, and the influence of his 1973 album A Wizard, a True Star on bedroom pop musicians.
Other potential subjects include his collaborations with Robyn and Sparks, his views on artificial intelligence in music, and his decision to decline induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Rundgren, a long-time Hawaii resident, has also encouraged Americans to avoid responding to hate with hate.
Submit your questions in the comments by noon BST on Friday 10 October. The best questions will appear in a future issue of Film & Music.
