Couldn't agree more with the previous comment - although unlike the previous comment I did NOT make it through the entire podcast. I'm glad to hear that Bob was around to get the first Nazz album on red vinyl, or that he sent in the postcard from Wizard, A True Star but really, is this a reflection on Todd's "finger moments" or a reflection on Bob's time skiing in Utah. While he is clearly a fan, and I agree with much of his assessment of the album "Todd", his continual telling of his life story is annoying. Do I care he that he got a job a cool bar in Alta? Do I care that he used to check out Todd cassettes from the library? Do I even care that he was at the Roxy for the recording of "Back to the Bars." Hmm....no, no and no. Any Todd Rundgren fan could produce this drivel - it hardly moves the meter of rock journalism. Memo to Rhino: focus on the music. The music is why we are here and what matters to us.

While this man starts off discussing the music of Todd Rundgren, he has a tendency throughout the segment to go off on a manically charged tangent about his own preferences and personal history. Apparently the man speaking has convinced himself that we listeners are interested in hearing all about his life. I can%u2019t speak for anyone but myself but I assure you I couldn%u2019t possibly care less.
Judging by the way this man speaks with such an immature vocabulary, (is using profanity the only way you know how to express yourself?) it puzzles me as to how the man found his way into any type of journalism.
He is wrong on some facts as well. He claims Todd never toured much. Actually he did quite a lot%u2026not only for his solo work but with the band %u201CUtopia%u201D.
I barely made it to the end of the segment because I found the man annoying to say the least. I strongly suggest you find someone else to %u201Cnarrate%u201D further podcasts.
