Given how well you did with "The Last Hero on Earth," I'm surprised nobody's approached you with the idea of doing music for a musical. And when I say "approached you," I mean with some upfront cash, an existing story and a contract for music rights/profit sharing in hand.

Think about it. A show like "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas," with a small on-stage country band, worked beautifully. Tom makes great music with a guitar and a double handful of computer recording. Who better to write for a small theatrical production?

I'd do it, but my theatrical production budget for this quarter is going into an extra bowl of gruel.
