      I was about 15 or 16 when that came out. I was kicking back in my bedroom, listening to my clock radio when the song came on. I was immediately taken by the music but as I was listening to the misogynistic lyrics, I got madder and madder (the fact that I loved the music so much made it even worse) until the last two lines "and when we're through you ... we'll get me one, too." Then I realized the song was making fun of that attitude and I laughed so hard I almost fell off my bed!

    difference in this world bringing much needed awareness to music that is not really heard on the airwaves anymore for new generations to understand and appreciate it.

    "Something/Anything?" is a masterpiece of an album, and the entire double disc set is worthy of an in-depth listen. He was a masterful guitarist and a prolific album producer for other artists. He in fact was producer for Meat Loaf's masterpiece "Bat out of Hell" and played the "motorcycle effect" guitar solo on that album's title track. I'm sure you'll get hundreds of suggestions in response to this reaction, but "Hello, It's Me" is the correct one to follow.

    Todd Rundgren is a favorite of mine. He's a very talented singer and producer. The best artists have at one time played and sang all the parts of their song at one time. A new artist that did this on their song Crossroads is Taj Farrant. He was 14 at the time. He's now 15 and his first album comes out next month. He will be in Oklahoma City on 9/27. He's also supposed to play at Caines Ballroom in Tulsa after the first of the year. He and his family are truly amazing people. You should check him out. I'm sure he would be open for an interview. A truly amazing talented kid and look out for his sister Jazel. She's 13, plays drums and has an incredible pop voice.

He had a great band called Utopia and they had a great album called Ra that I wore out as well. If you want a rocker by him, try the song "You Cried Wolf"or "Bread" from Hermit of Mink Hollow.

    @RobSquadReactions John Mayall passed away on the 22nd. Known as the Godfather of the British Blues. So many greats passed thru his band. Without him, the music landscape today would be very different. ruclips.net/video/EfWU2MV9_ZI/видео.htmlsi=Kg6MNsyXsWlTgaTn

    I love Todd Rundgren. I saw him live. A bonafide musical genius. As has been stated below Todd liked to play all of the instruments and sing all of the vocals on his albums. On this 2 record set he played everything and sang everything on the first 3 sides of the record, then brought in a bunch of friends to record the last side.

    Meatloaf, Badfinger, Grand Funk Railroad, The Band, Patti Smith, Hall & Oates, Rick Derringer, The Psychedelic Furs, Shaun Cassidy, The Tubes, Cheap Trick,

    Can We Still Be Friends
    We Gotta Get You A Woman
    Bang On The Drum All Day
    Hello, It's Me

    You should check out when Todd was on Live at Daryl’s House. Their voices compliment each other so much. Just kick back and enjoy them. This song they play it when Daryl came to Todd’s home in Hawaii. It’s beautiful.

    We were on a rock and roll cruise in 2019. Todd was one of the artists that performed. I ran into Todd twice and visited with him (along with about 10 other people). He was a really nice guy and didn't act like he was anything special. He was funny and had some interesting stories. His concert was very funny and very quirky. His main song was "Brand New Key" by Melanie. It was SO funny. Unfortunately, he didn't play my favorite song by him "Couldn't I Just Tell You".
