Todd is so patient. He continues to explain his career over and over again, always with such grace. He's a living legend.

I just turned 64 on this day. I saw Todd and Utopia at San Diego State in 1984 or 1985 when I was in the Navy. They opened for The Tubes and I'll remember this concert until the end. Thanks for all the great music you gave us through the years. "Leroy, boy, is that you?" Thanks Todd.

Love Todd Rundgren. Been listening to him for the past 45 years and he has always had a sound uniquely his own. Todd weaves his melodies like a fine tapestry. My favorite Rungren songs: Caravan and Can We Still Be Friends? 😊

Still think it's cool that the first episode of That 70s Show was about getting to a Rundgren Concert.

So much talent in that man, Todd Rundgren great interview

I am sixty-seven years old and I am pleased to see that my lifelong admiration for Todd has not been misplaced.

MY favorite song by TR is "I Saw the Light". I saw the Paul Butterfield Band twice and JJ and Big Brother back in the late 60s early 70s. Man am I old! Great interview.

Todd Rundgren is such a mature, down-to-earth, reasonable man. The things he says about sacrifice and fatherhood are so spot on. I have new-found respect for him after watching this.

Todd has been my favorite artist since I was 11 years old. Have witnessed so many interviews and this one may be my favorite!

Please have Todd Rundgren back again. Great dude, great interview.

Great interview with Todd getting him to open up.

Love Todd, brilliant man in every way

I've seen Todd twice. The first time when half the show was with a tape recorder, then with the band. The second time the Ra tour. Todd is my favorite album. Kind of lost track of him in later years. The NFL must owe him a lot of money.

Todd is a musical genius. Thank you for having him as your guest. 👍

I bought a copy of Something/Anything right after it’s release in 1972, with money from my first real paycheck. It’s my favorite album by anyone not called The Beatles. Thanks for a rare interview. I have only seen Todd one other time like this, in the Live at Daryl’s Place episode.

Bang on the Drum is a serious banger. Love that song

My first listen to Todd was Utopia's "Set me Free". Awesome song and what a great voice. So glad he's still touring.

As Todd says musicians get better. I started liking his stuff in the 80s and 90s. The Lairs is a really great album.

Holy shit, it's Todd! I have never seen him speak in a interview.

Huge Todd fan! Get it on

Damn I gotta get into some Todd Rundgren. Total badass of a man!

Todd's references to Don, Jr. and Baron were so crucial to the interview. At least saintly Hunter Biden was left out of the conversation.. 😉

Great interview ! I just ordered one of Todd's greatest hits CD's . Great music!

Thx, guys. Especially enjoyed that interview with Todd.

Been a follower of Todd since Nazz. I am so glad He never went the commercial route to music.

What a cool guy, never knew much about Todd.

Todd is real folks. Gotta love him.🙏👍✌❤ Talking about Liv Tyler was noticeably tough for him . Todd IS a real man.

Apart from being a real music genius, he’s a gentleman.

Aceman calling it a “Cease & Assist” had me 😂

Great choice for a guest. Your best interview of 2022. Really enjoyed hearing Todd spill the beans. As some of us say, "Todd is Godd." Cheers!

The Bowie tribute Rundgren did with Adrain and those guys was superb.

Todd Rundgren is the man! 😁

Great interview..I'm in Maine..I know several of the parties involved...good people...

Great interview with Todd. When I was in my 20s I saw him for the first time in Indy in a club, the guys I was with talked me into knocking on his trailer after show. I’m thinking I’m not a groupie. I just love music. And I loved Todd’s music. So I knocked lightly not having a clue as to how I was gonna explain why I’m there (other than telling myself don’t make an ass out of yourself.). Well I was walking away when Todd opened the door. He just invited me in. His back up singer was there (eventually his wife). He didn’t ask why are you here so that hurdle was overcome. And yes I did make an ass out of myself. I rambled on about his music, something about Midnight special. Hell I don’t remember. They were so nice and gracious. I didn’t want to take up to much of their time so after awhile I asked if I could have an autograph. All I had in my purse to write on was a teeny phone/address book. He said “I’ll put it right by Lionel Ritchie.” I laughed thinking he thinks I’m a groupie and like pop (though I did LOVE the Commodores). Anyway maybe a week later I realized it was because his last name was R and so was Ritchie. Hahaha. He actually put it in the Qs by mistake. Anyway got to meet him and he and his lady friend were no nice as idiotic as I must’ve sounded. Still got that address book somewhere…

Love what Todd says about being a parent. It’s no great sacrifice to be there for your kids. Being a mother was the best thing I did. I unfortunately did get a divorce (he was cheating, I knew it, refused to say him explicitly being sexual to coworkers was okay), I couldn’t do it anymore. It was hard on my kids and honestly harder for me. The days they were with their dad were excruciating for me. When you’re a mom you never fathom you’ll miss a day in their life. Didn’t help he was immediately in a relationship with woman he “was definitely not” having an affair with and remarried shortly thereafter. I’m rambling on but what Todd said struck a nerve. Todd is a good guy. ❤

Whenever I hear Bang the Drum when I watch the packers, I hope Todd is getting a paycheck

Love Todd for music, life, everything. I was a fan since i was just a boy and saw a few of his concerts and was afraid to meet him because if he was a jerk, I'd have to throw away all the records, cd's, i met him finally in thr 80's and he was very nice, almost bashful, then i met him and Michelle a few times, both just extremely gracious, normal, nice people. Todd's music has been a foundation for many phases of my life. I couldn't live this guy more.

🏆 Chris dresses like a professional and doesn’t interrupt or cackle…(looking at you : unmade-bed Gina 🧐) 😂😂😂

Adam, this man is a genius, it’s embarrassing how much you refer to other artists right at the beginning of the interview. He doesn’t need to be associated with anyone, he stands on his own, no where less than Elvis Presley or David Bowie. He is an artist true and true who has learned his work from every angle.

Fine interview, and two things strike me… Gina tries to sound like Robin Quivers, which is a bit pathetic. Secondly, Todd, fuck you for insulting Baron Trump, who seems as though he wouldn’t hurt a flea. That said, Todd, you’re the greatest of musical geniuses spanning the past 100 years, at least, and I adore you. These last two things are not mutually exclusive. Compartmentalization is a wonderful thing, peeps.

I missed meeting him in Woodstock the town in NY state he had just left Andy Robinson's studio about 30 minutes ago at the time 🇺🇸🎸🦅😎 great musician

Great interview Thanks

It is hurtful. Todd is my favorite of all time - he's a wonder to me since about 1970. I was 7. 59 years old now. My young adult daughters (age 22) now share the love and respect for his music, and will carry it on. He gave us these gifts, and I gave it to my kids. I can separate the differing world views between myself and this artist, and I wish he could too. He must not understand that kind people with huge hearts and love for the world can see things differently. It's very conflicting to me daily, to be honest, as I will not stop listening to his music, and singing his praises regardless. He's the only one I'd care to see in concert again in these weird times. But I don't want my heart broken in person. The words in his song "Parallel Lines" sum it up, I guess. Beautiful song. But sad.

Love Todd but his TDS is so bizarre

I've been banging my drum for 45 years. Thx for Bat. 1977 best record ever.. RIP Meat.

Dear Adam...Spend an evening on KZfaq and experience many, many Todd-related videos, live concert footage, songs, albums, archival stuff, interviews, documentaries, etc., etc. You might especially enjoy his 2017 10-day stint as an artist-in-residence at Notre Dame, where he worked with all sorts of young musicians, culminating in a concert of all-Rundgren tunes. Todd also watched the Irish win a football game and sang the fight song. Fantastic stuff!

Really interesting guest. Love some of Rundgren's tunes but I now like him as a dude even more.

Fantastic

I've been to his house on Kauai (he was on the road with Ringo) but Michelle invited me over. They own a cool bar named Tiki Iniki.

Love the show 1

I put up Christmas listening to your Friday show, thanks for the company

I wonder which way he leans politically 😂

Best interview ever. Rundgren is so normal & nice!

Don't know if he mentioned this but Todd's wife has a restaurant restaurant in Princeville, Kauai. Went there last year. Was hoping to see him, but we didn't :/ I did see Bethany Hamilton surfing in Hanalei bay. That was pretty awesome

I enjoyed Adam estimating that party as at at least $100k. It's more like at least $1mil as described haha nice downplay

Can We Still Be Friends....Saw the Light. Those are my jams👍

Todd is a unique talent and has penned some of the most beautiful songs of all time.

I know this is so unimportant but I've stupidly LOOOOOONG wondered why Adam is the only one sitting down. I surmise it's because it's his show since BOTH Gina & Bald Bryan are standing.

Absolutely love Todd/Utopia

Awesome his kids, just like Todd, went there own way. As a parent that is what you should do.

Love you Todd

I saw the light was one of the greatest songs of that time.

F TODD!

Gina's two favorite topics...food and trans culture.

I could not love Todd Rundgren more - so much talent AND sanity (vis a vis child rearing etc)

Huge Todd fan , but disappointed at his stance regarding Trump supporters.

"George Harrison's solo shit is so much better."

Dolly Parton R&R. Dolly the real rebel. I knew it because I played it backwards.

Grad of Upper Darby High School. And don’t you forget it.

Does anyone remember the original Mangria recipe? I think it’s been scrubbed from the internet.

Team Rundgren! class of 76...

If Im not mistaken Joplin lived In an victorian house between Corte Madera & larkspur Not Mill valley which is north of those 2 towns .all In marin county ca...back in the day when marin was kinda cool!..Id rather have these interviewers ask T.R. about the great musicians hes work with Such AS Steve hillage from Gong Or his situation with Roger Powell?

Wow Adam 41 degrees would be balmy where I am. It's 12.2 degrees here and it's COLD

Hey, Todd, worry more about Hunter and less about Don Jr. or Barron.

it was going well till the TDS kicked in ,good grief it give it a rest ,Trump.Trump. Trump . living rent free!!

Poets never find their epitome till they are dead, like a musician . You will never see your top.

I wish an interviewer would ask what a producer actually does in recording. I've never heard it explained.

the Todd interview was great but the rest of the show is ok

right now, in this moment in time..let Warren Buffett be Our temporaryl eader in the interim . Think about it ❤️🌿

Sudden death- poisoned by cup, or poisoned by spike, things that make you go hmmm

26:07 Todd says that you don't talk about politicians kids, then proceeds to bring up trump's minor kid, then wonders if he is at a school with "other pricks". Pure class.

What’s with Carolla’s eyes being closed 50% of the show?

she got some skills. mustve got it from ol' granddad

There's no way this dude isn't Liv Tyler's biological father.

You forgot about UTOPIA Adam

Love Bald and Gina!!

Katz... I'm sure he's fast n loose with the truth

🤙🏼

Ok enough with the volleyball crying 😢. That’s what you get for having kids!!

T-Run wasn't what I thought. A complete person. Delta Fu.

Really trashing those bigger woman here.

Adam is generally a smart guy but he clearly has no clue whom he is speaking with. Todd nevertheless gives him a great interview.

Stfu is a great song

Seems to be....

I despise Gina but when Adam goes on about "fat chix"... I feel for her ...which hurts coz there's alota her

There's a way to stop 360 windmill dunks in the final seconds of a game... That said. If you choose NOT to defend against such things, then you likely weren't impacted by such "poor gamesmanship".

I only want Ducky to do the autopsy

This is unbelievable how ill informed and ignorant these hosts are. WOW! Not sure if I can make it to the end of this interview. Where did they find these people? How are they in this position? Yikes!

Todd is god

I am a foremost lifelong Rundgren fan, and have a KZfaq channel where I do a lot of reproducing his piano tracks. He is my musical idol and he has a brilliant mind, obviously. Alas, I don't like his kneejerk lefty politics, and calling Baron Trump's dad a "prick" on a national interview is...well, hypocritical. I thought you cared about the fatherhood thing, Todd, huh? It's a good lesson in it being always better NOT to know of an artist's personal opinions. That said, it was a mostly insightful interview, and Todd proves himself very wise in most instances. Nevertheless, I'm sure it is very easy to be wealthy and live in Hawaii while the rest of America's average folks are getting ripped off for food and gas and rent and have to watch an idiot senile Biden wage stupid wars and allow millions of unvetted illegals into the country, all of which is costing taxpayers billions -- the same taxpayers who are paying $19 a pound for a cut of meat.
