And singing about getting it on with a 16 yr old is what I call rape.
Ahh, he only wants those who reflect HIMSELF. Well, whoever he is, he can keep his show to himself, as far as I am concerned.
He also produced and played guitar on Meat Loaf's "Bat Out of Hell", The Band's "Stage Fright", Grand Funk Railroad's "We're An American Band" as well as Hal l and Oates, Patti Smith, the New York Dolls and many others. He may not have been a big star himself but big stars sought him out. And by all accounts he was a good father, which is saying a lot in that business.
Looks like a gay Dracula. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
And utterly devoid of song writing talent, I suspect.
I do know that Checkers is entirely predictable.
Players play to a draw, consistently.
As a result, the first so many moves are drawn at random.
This morning on an Internet radio station, I heard some Todd Rundgren songs that I have not thought about or remembered or heard since they first aired. Then .... I remembered why.
“Dear Todd,
Since hearing your music in the 70’s, I have long since decided that is where your music should stay. In the 1970’s, with all those years for e4very harmonic of every note to have been rung out, bounced around, and now, silent.”
Dumb ass thought Liv was HIS kid. hence the name TYLER!
Todd Rundgren is still alive. I learned something today.
You know, THE Todd Rundgren. Still out there touring, playing junior high proms and second stage county fairs.
He prolly only does soft tickets nowadays
I liked maybe four of his songs
I saw him in 74
Not my taste
Utopia’s Princess of the Universe me likey
His personal music was for splittails
Better producer than performer.
He's a Nixon-era rock star. I have a recording on a transcription disc of a get-out-the-vote ad that he made during the 1972 presidential campaign that was aimed at young liberal voters. In it, he announces that he will be running for president in 1984, when he is old enough to run.
I don't recall hearing from him at all in 1984.
Don’t go to your concert?
OK. I won’t. And fxxx you very much.
Drugs didn’t turn Pantera or Avenged Sevenfold or James Hetfield or Dave Mustaine or Alice Copper or lynyrd skynyrd or kid rock or Sammy Hagar or Sir William Gibbons of the Duchy of Dallas into leftards
Just saying
Creative people tend emotional with a tight self centered orbit seeking steady validation as a rule more often than not
That’s why they are often libs kind of like a lot of girls
I remember when Rush was married to Marta, Rundgren put out an album with an anti-Limbaugh song. She said, “Don’t care. I’m buying it and going to the show. I love Todd!” No point to the story, really. Just a jogged memory.
Supposedly he was in the 60s psychedelic rock group Nazz then he went solo but he was also producing albums. During the 1970s and 1980s, Rundgren engineered and/or produced many notable albums for other acts, including the Band’s Stage Fright (1970), Badfinger’s Straight Up (1971), Grand Funk Railroad’s We’re an American Band (1973), the New York Dolls’s New York Dolls (1973), Hall & Oates’s War Babies (1974), Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell (1977), and XTC’s Skylarking (1986).
