When I listen to a tune like this one my mind wanders off into what-ifs… that is, what if this was done before such great reliance on computers and synthesizers. Imagine Rundgren doing this song again, but with a real string section instead of the electronic keyboard.

It wouldn’t happen at all, because the cost would be prohibitive. A recording session with a string section is amazingly expensive, not to mention the rehearsals, scoring, conductor, etc. I know - I’ve been there.

Speaking of what-ifs:
Vaccine issue draws large crowd
A crushing crowd filled and spilled out of a State House conference room for a hearing to offer testimony on a bill that would remove the philosophical exemption for parents who do not wish to vaccinate their children.
Several hundred people — many wearing green stickers bearing the word “Choice” — signed up to testify Monday evening before the House Health Care Committee on a proposal to eliminate the most common exemption cited by parents who opt out of one or more vaccines for their children.
The crowd was so large it forced the relocation of the meeting to the House Chamber.
[…]
[Thomas] McLeod told lawmakers it is wrong to force a medical procedure on one person for the safety of another and said no health crisis warranted such an invasion of privacy.
[…]
There’s a strong anti-social element to the anti-vaxx crowd.

Yeah, I know.
Back last year when DWTS announced a band change they trumpeted it as a way to appeal to a younger crowd. But I’m convinced that was just cover, because the net effect was they were paying for fewer musicians, and fewer hours for those they ended up with.

To be honest. I Listen first to the music and then the words. Music was good. Vocals. Imho, not so good. They must match. Just my opinion. An example.

I don’t envy the songwriter’s task. All the easy songs, licks, melodies have been used up. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to come up with something, and have somebody say “No, it sounds like that old Hall and Oates thing” or something like that. Having said that, I think Rundgren could have tried some other arrangements. I say that out of respect. I don’t think it’s an necessarily an insult to say that somebody could do better.

Ben Carson: God Gave Me a Prophetic Dream That Changed Everything
[…]
Failing his chemistry course, a prerequisite for medical school, he had one last opportunity to pull off a passing grade. But the night before his final exam, still not comprehending the material, he cried out to God for a prophetic move.
[…]
“And I said, ‘So would You please tell me what it is You really want me to do. Or, alternatively and preferably, work a miracle,’” he continued, eliciting chuckles from the audience.
After praying, Carson had picked up his Chemistry textbook, determined to learn the whole course overnight. But his efforts were futile, and he fell asleep.
His slumber, however, bore more fruit than his attempts at all-night cramming ever could. While he slept, God answered Carson’s prayers with a prophetic dream.
“I was in this large auditorium,” Carson described the dream. “Just me, and a nebulous figure working out chemistry problems.”
[…]
“When I went to take the test the next morning, it was like The Twilight Zone,” Carson said. “I opened that [test] book and I recognized the first problem; it was one of the ones I’d dreamed about. And the next, and the next, and the next.”
“I aced the exam,” he said to rousing applause.
[…]
Beware of politicians with “prophetic dreams”.
And tall tales.

BEN CARSON PROPOSES BIBLE-INSPIRED TAX PLAN
Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson has begun his newly-launched bid for the White House with a controversial tax plan. Dr. Carson is proposing a flat-tax plan of about 10% inspired by biblical tithing - giving one-tenth of one’s income annually to God through church. He told Fox News Sunday that he got the idea from the Bible.
Because God especially loves rich people, which is why he made them rich.

This is exactly it. A new Todd Rundgren albums is still economically viable in 2015 because he can sit in front of his computer in Hawaii and make it between tours with Ringo, speaking engagements, etc.
The man has made some truly insane business decisions over the course of his career (following up his commercial breakthrough Something/Anything? with the acid drenched A Wizard, A True Star, paying $40,000 per month to operate a video studio three hours outside New York City more than a year before MTV debuted), but this is no decision at all.

I don’t usually go for appointment television, but tomorrow night on Turner Classic Movies is something called “Zero Hour!” (complete with exclamation point) about a guilt ridden ex-fighter pilot who has to land a commercial airplane he isn’t familiar with. The guilt-ridden pilot’s name: Ted Stryker! From Wiki:
“In 1971, the film was reprised as a made-for-television movie, Terror in the Sky, a Movie of the Week special with Doug McClure in the title role.[7] Zero Hour! was also used as the basis for the parody film Airplane! (1980). Because Zero Hour! was owned at the time by Paramount Pictures, the makers of Airplane!, also a Paramount feature, were able to use the screenplay almost verbatim.”
The original is a drama, but somehow I think the “Airplane!” writers added a few lines.

And when Todd is working by himself he doesn’t have to worry about transcribing everything, or hiring musicians, or booking a rehearsal studio. And when he goes on the road to promote it, he doesn’t have to worry about tour buses, hotel rooms, insurance, egos, etc.
Yes, it would be great to hear this music performed entirely by live musicians, but that’s a fantasy in this day and age, when record companies are completely uninterested in properly funding artistic projects, and the public doesn’t seem to give a shit.
