Guy never got the credit he was due. Played every instrument ( horns, bass, guitar, piano, drums and the list goes on).

One of the best songs ever written:

Musical Genius.

PS: Love his outfit, the 70's.

Holy crap! This Rundgren tune i my url below was from a youtube taken from the Utopia concert in Columbus Ohio in 1980. I WAS THERE. One of my all time favorite concerts.....Played all the classics and the Last of the New Wave Riders and such. Rundgren is a genius!

Now I know how Mugg feels seeing clips of actual concerts that he was at. 

Gutcheck, you have any interest in seeing a clip of a way back cool interview of Hendrix? I really enjoyed it, and was waiting till I saw you around to ask you.

Like I mentioned, finally get to see one I was at. That show was at Veterans Memorial across the Scioto River in downtown Columbus. Also famous for where Shwarzenegger (sp?) won all his body building championships in the 1970s. No joke. My high school grad ceremonies was held there as well. Saw Billy Idol there also. A few others.

Saw him with Ringo Starr's All-Star band once at Ceaser's Palace...Todd really seemed to be having more fun than anyone else in the band...climbed into a booth stage-side full of people, sat down and played guitar for one song right there lol

He was sort of goofy looking. If they didn't put any makeup around his eyes, the lighting would make them disappear. Many do it.

Buy Something/Anything?   Rolling Stone has called it one of the best 10 albums of all time.

That might be the best Nazz tune, you're right.

He was great. I have the song on my Ipod and eveytime I listen, it reminds me of how great not only he was but a lot of bands from that era.
