"Who makes up the rules for the world?" Yes, indeed. Todd has always had amazing insights into the human condition, along with his equally amazing musical creativity.
Had the 'Faithful' album on vinyl way back then, wore it thin, it was never off the turntable. Saw and met Todd post-gig at Manchester Academy in '94 when he was on the 'Interactive Evening with Todd Rundgren' tour, playing solo in a specially designed and constructed pod, encircled by keyboards and guitars. Myself and 3 mates drove 9 hours down from Scotland for the gig, then drove straight back up after we'd met him outdoors/backstage. He was a gentleman, patiently answering many curious questions, signing autographs etc. Still regularly listen to Rundgren & Utopia stuff, which is on all 4 of my MP3 players, most recent fixation has been 'Afterlife' from his brilliant Liars album. Way too much to say and discuss about Todd, almost impossible to nail his music and subtle influence. From a lifetime, and unashamed Todd freak. 🎧
Been listening to this cat since I was 13, from Runt through Utopia. I was hooked on moogs and arps at an early age. Todd took me to never land when I was so young and everything was new. Just rediscovering him for the past few days. I’ve listened to this same old Cliche song a dozen times today. I never do that! Thanks Todd. You’re helping me through it all bro.
I bought this LP in 1976. Unlike previous Todd LPs, it did not have a lyric sheet. Here sit I, 45 years later, seeing the lyric for the first time! I always thought it was "make the night unwind." LOL! Thanks!
@@MsBlueRajah I thought it was night unwind too, but knot unwind makes more sense. The song is about the uncertainty in each about the other, i.e. the "knot".
I'd put him on the same level with David Bowie and Neil Young. All three fully understood every aspect of rock music and the rock music culture, and knew how to express it through their music, from the quietest ballads to the heaviest rockers.
@@jackmasterson6323John Siegel the bass player on this track, funny interesting fact, this John Siegler co wrote the pokemon theme (gotta catch em all!)
I had the album. Also the incredible double album Something /Anything which was watermark accomplishment of a singer /songwriter play in ng all instruments
Todd is the best! He is nominated for the 2020 R&R Hall Of Fame and he deserves to be in there! You can vote for him daily until Jan.10/20. New this year, to cast a ballot in the official Klipsch Audio Fan Vote, you can search “Rock Hall Fan Vote” or the word “Vote” with any Nominee name on Google to cast your ballot.

Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Well Said... Best 9 hours you've ever spent!!!
This takes me back to my college years with ny sweetheart, Forever in my heart and tender memories.
Afterlife is a pretty well known tune in Brazil after a famous radio program took it as its intro theme or something.
Me too.

I would agree that it's probably night rather than knot

Bloody good song toddy !! Greetings from the scottish highlands my boy !!👏👏👏
i gotta add my 'I've loved all Todd Rundgren music' somewhere, so here it is. Very human at its essences.
Hello True Wizard, I Am Der Wizard...
My heart swells with glad tidings for all every time I hear this wonderful song...
Be well my friend...
A brilliant song...
And let's not forget his marvelous early work with Nazz. Todd is Upper Darby PA's finest.
Bloody good tune that.
Todd is, IMHO, the most cerebral of rock stars....
I agree, He is amazing.

Thank you Jim Hoover, there are no words. Miss you more than all the rest. TY for Todd
Todd is Godd
I had this record. ❤
Trick bass line love it !
That bass line gives a whole new level to this already extraordinary song. Anyone know who it is? Is it Todd?
John Siegler is the bass player on this track.

Something Anything double album was a masterpiece.

I had this album. Catchy nice melody.
A song that is not as it's title would suggest.
There's a reason Todd rhymes with God.
Rundgren rhymes with unhinged. I dig the cat regardless of his opinions, that i do not agree with.
@@benjohnson4810I second that
