I Want You To Picture This:
*******
The Boomtown Rats have a Central Mailroom. That's Right! Because Pete Briquette confirmed for me that they do! Okay...Now, picture this, if you will ~ These 3 pictured above ⬆️ , the Boomtown Rats ~ do you see those BIG SMILES ON THEIR FACES?! Those are there because when they had this picture taken, they were already expecting you. That's right. You know when you get that feeling that SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL is on its way? THAT'S the feeling the Rats had when this picture was taken. And that something special is YOU! All Of You All Around The World who are now sending your Love in the form of questions. Sure, it's a question. But those questions are another way of saying, "Rats, I Love You!" The Rats Love You, Too! So, please keep all of those INCREDIBLE questions coming, everyone! DON'T WORRY! That Boomtown Rats Mailroom DOES have STACKS & STACKS of questions that are piling up now but I've just flown overseas to be The Boomtown Rats Central Mailroom Elf! So, keep the questions coming! We always want MORE! And just to make sure your Ask The Rats questions are delivered properly, please do the following 2 things:
1) Please post your Ask The Rats question either as a Comment beneath this post or Monday's debut Ask The Rats post.
2) Please add the HASHTAG:
(AskTheRatsNov23)
Please Don't Worry: If you have already sent your question in through an alternative method such as a separate post, an email, a chat, or through the contact form, or forgot to add the hashtag, WE HAVE RECEIVED EACH & EVERY QUESTION and we LOVE them all! Posting in an Ask The Rats! column & including the hashtag simply makes it easier for this Boomtown Rats Mailroom Elf to gather up all of the mail & get it carried in to Boomtown Rats Central before my Elf's hat slips over my eyes, which it does a lot. But it's okay, I'm very happy to be here! 💚
And, YES, at least 5 Ask The Rats questions are DEFINITELY going to be answered! Don't let me get lonely here at Boomtown Rats Central! I'm new in town & I love getting to know all of you through these funny, brilliant, & touching questions!

Great questions, Colza, but there are definitely going to be millions of people in the audience for all future Boomtown Rats & Bob Geldof shows all over the world (which I know you know you know, anyway! 🌻 ) , Jennifer 🌻 #TheFutureIsTheBoomtownRats!
I read you have many more songs written to complete and the one I am waiting on called it’s been a good life any updates? also is a full album coming out soon.
When can Bobby Boomtown be Bob Geldof and Play the Celtic Connections again it’s been too long and any new album on the way.
I fully understand the reasons for playing festivals and it’s been great, but I have been to a few gigs lately when the main band probably wouldn’t have sold out a big venue.
So, they got another band from that era supporting them meaning it helped sell out the venue.
Examples.
Undertones with Rezillos as support
Blancmange with Howard Jones as support
Simply Minds with Del Amitri as support.
Liam Gallagher with Kasabian as support
That way we get the Rats for 90mins & Songs we wouldn’t hear at festivals am sure.
