As If Y'all Needed More Proof That I Am An Old Fart

YES!!





You are truly the oldest fart on this bbs.

 

The Runt Rocks!




us old farts got to stick together!

 

Just twist a few before and you'll have a good time!

I've seen him twice (of course it was iin the 80's) and he puts on a great show!

 

Who in the blue hell is Todd Rundgren?

 

In case you weren't kidding (ya never know with kids these days)

Todd Rundgren's best-known songs — the Carole King pastiche "I Saw the Light," the ballads "Hello, It's Me" and "Can We Still Be Friends," and the goofy novelty "Bang on the Drum All Day" — suggest that he is a talented pop craftsman, but nothing more than that.

On one level, that perception is true since he is undoubtedly a gifted pop songwriter, but at his core Rundgren is a rock & roll maverick. Once he had a taste of success with his 1972 masterwork Something/Anything?, Rundgren chose to abandon stardom and, with it, conventional pop music. He began a course through uncharted musical territory, becoming a pioneer not only in electronic music and prog rock, but in music video, computer software, and Internet music delivery as well. As his career wound into its third decade, Rundgren concentrated on behind-the-scenes innovations, but during the '70s and '80s he maintained a relentless work schedule. He released up to two albums a year either as a solo artist or with his band Utopia, while producing acclaimed, successful records for artists as diverse as Badfinger, Meat Loaf, Grand Funk Railroad, the New York Dolls, and XTC.

Given such an extensive catalog, it's not surprising that there's a vast variety of styles within Rundgren's music — which is either rewarding or frustrating, depending on the album. Also, more often than not, the singles from each record do not offer an accurate indication of what the remainder of the album sounds like. Such an approach severely curtailed his mass appeal, but it helped him cultivate a ferociously dedicated cult audience.

 

one of the best psychedelic albums of the 70's

 

You're getting old??????

I just test drove a minivan

If we go through with this -- it'll be our first non-convertible in fifteen years...

(sorry to derail -- i'm still coming to grips with this).

 

Turn in your man card now!

 

Todd Rundgren is awesome.

He has a great web-site: Todd TV

 

I am doing a shift for someone who is going to that concert and she is really old!

 

I do believe that Behad is the official "Old Fart" of CC.net (sorry BobFinn and RocketmanTex)

 

Oh, hell... the only person around here that's older than me is Dr of Dunk!

Todd is terrific. I saw him when his band was the Nazz... now that's a long time ago. I could never get into Utopia, who I've seen at the Music Hall, but his other incarnations are great. He's one of those super talented people who plays several instruments and writes great music. You'll have a great time, RMT.


edit: giddyup is another ancient codger!

 

The theory of DoD's age is just a myth. I believe he is mid 30s. Hes young enough to be Deckard's son. heh

 

zzhiggins is old man around here.... although at times you'd think Behad is

 

damn Deck! You've seen some amazing shows! Were you a true dork and kept all your ticket stubs?
