You've WAITED, You've WONDERED...Does Pete Briquette REALLY need me to buy him a cup of coffee? If he DOES, what's his favorite KIND?! Which song on the Beatles' "Revolver" blows Simon's mind the most? What is it on Bob Dylan's first album that called out to Bob Geldof so strongly & immediately started changing his life? Your question can be funny, your question can be deep, it could have popped into your head while you were walking down the street, or maybe it came to you on the wind, dreaming out the window late into the night...There's no wrong and there's no right...But there IS only One Way To Know...

Starting today, you can ASK A RAT ANYTHING you want! Don't hold back! Why would you do that?! THIS is your opportunity! The Boomtown Rats are opening the book, they're inviting you inside the mystery, revealing their hidden history...There's always that one question you're hoping a journalist will ask but somehow they just never do...YOU will, though!

All of your questions will be gathered up & sent to the Boomtown Rats & together they will find the question they most want to answer that month! The chosen question in this first round of ASK THE RATS! will appear in a special feature on this website during the 1st week of December and will appear during the 1st week of each month thereafter.

ASK THE RATS! is the 1st of many ways we're going to do that for you!
