Todd Rundgren isn’t bothered that some of his fans might avoid his concerts due to his politics. The 68-year-old musician and record producer conceded as much in an interview with Variety when asked about an incident in which a couple walked out of a concert in Los Angeles due to comments he made about President Donald Trump.
“No,” Rundgren said when asked if it bothered him. “I’d say: If you’re a Trump supporter, don’t come to my show, because you won’t have a good time. And also, I don’t understand your frickin’ values. Because I’m not singing about that. If you don’t understand that basic thing, you’re just fooling yourself.”
Rundgren is currently on a cross-country tour, with multiple dates in Florida and Texas, states that Trump won during the 2016 campaign. But the musician told Variety that Trump supporters “will likely be offended” if they attend his concerts.
“Let the buyer beware! I mean, if you can’t take a joke, or you can’t admit that you’ve made a mistake, you don’t belong with the rest of us,” he said with a laugh.
Elsewhere in the interview, Rundgren explained that music is the most “plagiaristic” art when compared with other forms, because there are only so many ways musicians can arrange a limited amount of notes together.
“You’ve got the western 12-tone scale. That’s essentially 11 notes. So you’re eventually going to run out of melodies, just by the pure mathematics of it,” he said. “So the whole art of making music is trying to obscure the fact that this is a melody from another song and has just been changed in subtle enough ways that you don’t recognize it.”

I can’t stay up that late but whatever works for you is ok by me.
“music is the most “plagiaristic” art ... because there are only so many ways musicians can arrange a limited amount of notes together.”
there are only 26 letters in the alphabet and there are only so many ways they can be arranged, so that’s bound to automatically lead to plagiarization, right Todd?
All digital information, including data, music, video, programs and operating systems consist only of ones and zeros and there are only so many ways they can be arranged. that’s bound to automatically lead to plagiarization, right Todd?
Yet another example of the so-called “tolerant, inclusive ones”.
Born To Be Wild.
Fag dracula
Sorry, never heard of him before now.
And those outfits? By Todd's own lyrical yardstick, stupid as they are they are not quite stupid enough to be cool.
Mr. niteowl77.
If you’re a Hitlery supporter, keep your show out of my town.
Todd thinks he’s important enough that I should care.
Is he getting his outfits from the same designer as Ming the Merciless?
That’s why a lot of people call these shows rock revivals.
Some aging rocker that wrote a song about not wanting to work and banging on a drum all day.
that’s ok todd- on the flip side- if you are an immature never trumper- your show is not welcome in my house-

Got his outfit at a Star Trek clearance auction?
Best thing he did was to produce XTC’s “Skylarking.”
I was a fan in the 90’s especially his “Hermit of Mink Hollow “ album where he played all the instruments but he just lost a fan. I’m sure he doesn’t care.
