Clearly these admin things are not something he wants to take on (he has enough to do) but maybe he should pay more attention to these areas of his life such as contracts, etc. <br /><br />If I were his manager I would have advised against it financially if they were bringing the show down as you say. I haven't seen it yet and won't for a while so these are just my random thoughts. But TR may be indifferent to a great many things and the show running may be one of them. In interviews he seems more interested in learning about DJing from Dam Funk.

If they can sell enough 80 buck tickets they can hang on a bit longer in Cow Way. It doesn't cost much money to pick up a no-name DJ and a couple of karaoke bar rejects n lieu of a band. Real dancers and musicians cost money. This gang of 4 is disgracing themselves and putting a stain on TR's legacy. Is he drunk? He seemed so during Unpredictable. Here he just seems desperate. Watching a 67 year old man jump up and down in flop sweat during these techno songs is utterly depressing. <br /><br />Could this all be some sort of brilliant performance art, kind of a joke like Andy Kaufman? Surely TR knew during the audition that the two ladies couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. Their harmonies sound like coyotes baying at the moon.

I hate to admit I am holding tickets to this ghastly affair when it plays my hood, and I am torn. On one hand I am repulsed that our hero is spitting in the face of his fan base and all music-lovers everywhere by touring with this buffoon DJ and the Talentless Two, who seems to be wearing outfits designed by Huggy Bear. Then the curiosity factor sets in, kind of like when we rubber neck as a grisly car crash that we really don't need to look at.....I just don't know. Mildly criticizing this tour seems to have brought a lot of pain to some of the Todd fans still seemingly traumatized by having lunch money taken away in third grade, but I think it does TR a disservice not to label this tour as revolting horse shit.

Word on the island is that he way way overpaid for the property in Princeville, which might be the root of the issue. The tiki bar seems pretty empty most of the time, so that could be the next legal entanglement in the Arkansas of the Pacific. His money troubles are sad for a man of his age and accomplishment and I hope they resolve, as they seem to be negatively impacting the quality and integrity of his recording and touring product and forcing him to accept demeaning sideman projects beneath the dignity of a great artist like he certainly is, so perhaps he can return to Mink Hollow one day and all will be well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138869043417614172.post-6468996081087300452015-04-21T08:24:19.727-04:002015-04-21T08:24:19.727-04:00If you click the link to see the actual supreme co...If you click the link to see the actual supreme court filing, you'll see the plaintiffs are the "Todd Rundgren Trust" and the "Michelle Rundgren Trust".<br /><br />You don't form Trusts, unless you have piles of money.<br /><br />It's very unlikely that Todd and Michelle's Trusts are anywhere near empty.<br /><br />I would saw there is something else behind all of this besides the Rundgrens being broke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138869043417614172.post-81430259104326516232015-04-20T23:00:31.049-04:002015-04-20T23:00:31.049-04:00"You don't need talent to be in show busi..."You don't need talent to be in show business.
