Sorry
for the late notice but we are airing a show right now -- no worries the archive
will be available as always.
8:30PM EASTERN
TIME.
SPECIAL EDITION RUNDGREN RADIO SHOW: The classic and epic Pete
Fornatale Mixed Bag interview with Todd Rundgren from the LIARS period. This
show is being aired in honor and memory of Pete.
Unfortunately Pete
passed away on April 26th. He was 66.
Pete
was a disc jockey who helped usher in a musical alternative to Top 40 AM radio
in New York in the late 1960s and early 1970s, presenting progressive rock and
long album tracks that AM stations wouldn’t touch and helping to give WNEW a
major presence on the still-young FM dial.
Last year, Pete was a special
guest panelist at Todd Rundgren's Musical Survival Camp and a guest on one of
Rundgren Radio's "Camp Counselor Series" shows.
On tonight's show we

I went to school with Pete's sister Jackie. We were all proud in Park Ridge to have Pete one of our own... he will be missed.
