This has nothing to do with Rundgren, but it's before my time, but you might be in the right age range to remember it.
Do you remember a song called Timothy by the Buoys from 1970? I only heard it in the last ten years. It's a good song, but apparently about three young men trapped in a cave in, who allegedly resort to cannibalism?
Good heavens! No, I don’t ever recall hearing about that story or it’s song before. That sounds morbid enough for someone like Marilyn Manson to perform onstage.
#16. There was no “allegedly” about it. Timothy was “toast”, or “roast”. Burp! Went down well with fava beans and a “mine” chianti - Ripple, I think.
As for leftist singers and politics. Most couldn’t find their heads and common sense up their asses with a searchlight and a team of proctologists.
I’ll take ONE Toby Keith singing “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” over dozens of Madonna’s (I love “Borderline”), Katy Perry, and the rest of the leftist, overpaid millennial and old-time once-was’s.
PS: I got a CD from a pro-America rally in DC in April 2003 which contained only one song. I put it in my son’s army training jacket that I wore that day in solidarity with him and the troops of the 299th Army Engineers (Bridging), out of Ft. Belvoir, who were fighting in Iraq during Objective Peach on the Euphrates River opposite Hindaya.
I then put that jacket on my chair at home, with the CD in it, never moved it, and gave it to him when he returned from combat and bridging operations later that year. It was the second thing I gave him, the first being a big salute and hug.
I’m an old rock and roller, and Vietnam/Cambodia journalist on our side. Most singers were on our side back them. Today, they are on the “STUPIDS SIDE” and our “ENEMIES SIDE”. My how the time have changed, for the worse.
America, we are in trouble but don’t support our domestic stupids and enemies by patronizing their music, movies, concerts.
My favorite song by that group:
Could It Be You?--The Four Tops (1956)
