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 wouldn’t have gone to see Todd Rundgren even when I was in college if a van full of cheerleaders had picked me up hitchhiking in the rain and said they had an extra ticket. And I wouldn’t go to see him now if he paid me.
“We gotta get you a Trump hat - nothing else will make you think you’re alive”
Stars, please speak up. Tell us which of you do not want supporters of the President to buy your stuff. Please. We will adjust our purchases accordingly. You can’t help it if you’re intolerant.
I hope that was the song they played while he was tied up and robbed.
Who in hell in their right mind would pay to see Tod Rundgren? Liberals and anti-Trumpers on the other hand...
Anyone male can send a sperm into the universe. The guy there parenting is the father.
Yeah, this was the first song I thought of when hit by the realization per this article that Rundgren is a major libtard. Not surprised.
His lyrics "I don't wanna work... just wanna bang on the drum all day!" over & over again is pretty much an anthem for the left. Fits their values perfectly. They also bring drum circles to mind - another lefty staple.
Rundgren was mentioned & played on "That 70's Show" a number of times. He had some good hits back in the day.
Went to see him in Pittsburgh 8 years ago. I and my significant other fell asleep during the performance. Big waste of money.
By the dozens....
Just call me Caitlyn!
All I remember about the guy is he had one annoying song from the 70’s.
Second!
And actually a huge ex fan
Don’t be obtuse
You wrote drugs turned rock stars into liberals
I disagreed
And so
I gave examples of rock stars who took drugs and did not turn into liberals
Plenty folks who took dope did not become liberals
That’s a canard
You replied nonsensical to that which is what most free often do when confronted with examples that negate their assumption
Creative folks tend libtard cause they are emotive and the successful ones don’t have typical fiscal concerns anymore so their idealistic transfer of wealth views are more easily borne than by the rank and file like me or possibly you
A far greater contributor than drugs
Does alcohol make people liberal ?
Never heard of him. Maybe no one will show up?
He was one of those guys that critics had orgasms over but nobody that actually bought records listened to.
I will gladly heed his request. He’d have to pay me to see his crappy show anyway.
Thanks for your post. I’ve always wondered if she still had a relationship with Lundgren after she developed a relationship with Steven Tyler.
I have no love for Lundgren for his politics but I am glad that he is still a father figure in her life.
I don’t fault Liv’s mother for allowing Lundgren to take Tyler’s place. From what I understand, Steven Tyler was severely drugged out when Liv was a child and was in no shape to be a father.
He looks like a homosexual wizard.
I thought you had died, Todd.
Oh well, you’re dead to me now.
Jihad Todd implementing a purity test....the Nazis would be proud.
