Todd Rundgren’s Career

Posted by BabysArmHoldingApple on 9/19/26 at 2:25 pm

Reading his accomplishments as a composer, performer and producer. That guy may quietly be among the most creative people of the rock n roll era.

Been in Italy for 2 weeks.

Only one place had tip option on cc machine. But it seems like something that is coming eventually everywhere.

As an aside, there are some fine beautiful women over here. Way skinnier and more feminine than some of the cows that we have in the US

Guilty as charged.

Although after 50+ years its not really about rooting for the team to succeed. Its more like a comfortable habit.

And once you become indifferent to whether they win or lose, there is often entertainment value in just watching the creative ways that they consistently fail.

Never found her to be attractive but I bet she had a wild time in the swinging 70s.

I was a teen and didn't understand it like an adult back then, but the whole issue of returning Vietnam vets seemed a lot grittier and darker in the 70s with this book, Rolling Thunder, the aftermath of My Lai, etc.

The first movie softened it. Then Rambo sort of became a "superhero" in the sequels with very little connection to the original feel of the book.

Yes in the late 70s before the movie came out.

Very enjoyable book but a lot more intense/graphic than the movie...and of course did not have the any of the imagery from the movie that many folks associate with the story.

SPOILERS:

Much higher death count. Both Rambo and Teasle die at the end

Do you think THAT many fans show up for their guys, or are they paid to be there?

I grew up there. Not much to do in Canton, so pretty much everything revolves around this weekend - parades, fashion shows, luncheons, music festivals, rib cook-offs.

You have friends, families and former teammates at the ceremony, plus the rabid fans that travel to see their "guy". But you also have people from the area that go just for the "event" even though they don't really have a particular player or team that they follow. There are also lots of people from the Chamber of Commerce, local industry sponsors, civic volunteers, etc. It adds up.

Lot's of great responses on here.

Another one that I haven't seen listed is James Honeyman-Scott.

Not sure if he is underrated ... perhaps more forgotten.
