FULL VERSION of INTERSECTION. 1972
UNRELEASED – Produced 1972 Copyright DBMc Inc.
This is an experimental film that was made while I was an undergraduate at the UCLA Film School in the early 1970s. My Marin County partners in crime, Jessica Roth and Bruce McCauley, brought the vision of this era into reality...they lived it! I regret Bruce died before the invention of UTUBE. This film was even made before MTV…image that!
Nobody was combining motion picture film with rock and roll for theatrical release in those days. ” Shorts” were the little pictures that were seen in-between the feature films. We were dismissed as CRAZY invaders from San Francisco by our LA colleagues. The audio was made for quad-theaters (very hot in 1972) and thus takes some work to reduce 35 separate audio tracks into this format. It was mono in the car and blasts to quad when Wolfman or Todd hits the screen. We did a fantasy reveal on Wolfman in this short...due to the fact that very few people had ever seen him. Lucas had not released his vision of 4th Street in San Rafael just yet.
For me and millions of other nocturnal radio listeners Wolfman was a nightly mystery of rock and roll interspersed with all kinds of babble and humor...so this is how we shared him. Todd composed his song “Wolfman Jack” that honors and gives praise the number one crazy cat alive! Someone tweeted that Todd played this for this 60th birthday party which had to be really fun for those lucky ones on Kauai.
This short is about 4 solitary guys spinning around in Los Angeles at a very creative time, the 1970s. Each one is at the top of their game and the games are quite different. George and Ms. Bobby are two lonely souls heading into the sunset.... on Sunset Blvd....listening to the radio. They collide on the boulevard.
George Jennings (driver) lived in Oakland and drove for the transit company. He is in search of a party.
Ms. Bobby (sweet hitch hiker) is heading for the Chateau Marmount Hotel. She played the 70’s rock groupie to a tee during this collision of souls. In reality she was part of a San Francisco midnight theater group of entertainers, The Cockettes. No one has ever pickup on the fact that Ms. Bobbi was such a terrific LGBT actor…I think it is important to share this now to let you know of our support for the cause decades ago.
I do wish you could have seen this on the big screen with quad audio. It just wasn’t in the cards for me.
Enough for now…enjoy the history and fun.

RundgrenRadio year 9 birthday bash information
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/rundgren-radio-year-9-birthday-bash-7#/
Summary
RundgrenRadio.com: You guys and gals know we have thrown over a dozen parties for Todd fans including 6 over the last 8 Labor Day weekends. Each party has been special in its own unique way and this one will be no different if it happens.
Rather than take a risk like in the past, we are doing this IndieGoGo campaign instead to make sure we have enough interest. We know there are challenges with all of the things Todd has been doing this year including his August camp (sold out), the cruise, and the SOHF Notre Dame event with TR in September so if the interest isn't there we understand. However, we have had way too many requests by fans to not make a run at a party this year.
Your contributions will help us achieve our goal of throwing one hell of a party in 2016. We have several bands lined up for you and other fun activities planned. IF WE DO NOT HIT THE GOAL YOUR CONTRIBUTION WILL BE REFUNDED 100%. If we exceed it, we will add even more cool things into the mix!
Dates would be 9/2, 9/3, and 9/4. We'd like to have a band(s) the night of 9/2 to start things up right. Bands on 9/3 and 9/4 too as well as the Maurice excursion.
