Wolfman Jack on air blurb on Todd Rundgren

upped on you tube by wiztstar this is his comment about this video..
"Here's a sound-bite I recorded in 1973-74 (I was 12 or 13); it was my first introduction to Todd Rundgren other than he's radio hits "Hello", " I Saw" and "We Gotta". So there I was, a 12 yr old kid in North Carolina listening to the great wolfman Jack in NYC, wow that was magic to me. After hearing this, I went out and bought "Something/Anything" and the rest is Utopian history. Here's Wolfman Jack doing a live spot on WNBC-AM"

updates from RundgrenRadio

Todd is our guest tomorrow night on the show so be sure to pencil in 8:30pm ET on Tuesday if you want to hear about TR's Johnson from the man himself :-).

For the Lincolnshire, IL gig we are the only source for the VIP tickets -- early entrance and dinner for $60. We have general admission too for $40 and the conv fee is $1.50 versus Ticketmaster's $6.50.

https://www.tix.com/Event.asp?Event=251117

The reason I'm telling you this today is because we only have 22 VIP left and they are going to be gone pretty soon. Don't want any of you to miss out on VIP if that's the route you want to take and you've been procrastinating :-).

I'm not 100% on this but the TRJ album may be out earlier than June 15th which is the projected date on Amazon. I've heard early April but knowing HiFi it could very well be June even though the album is completely ready.

RundgrenRadio Tonight Michael Holman " dancer for theTubes"

Rundgren Radio wraps up it's "Mondays In March" series tonight beginning at 8:30pm ET with special guest Michael Holman.

Michael was a former dancer with the Rock and Art band The Tubes. He is a long time acquaintance of the Rundgren's and attended Toddstock.

From OldSchoolHipHop.com ...

An often forgotten behind the scenes player in the early days of hip hop, Michael Holman may be remembered best for being "The Host With The Most".

That line is in reference to perhaps his most well known contribution to hip hop - the television pilot "Graffiti Rock." While it was the only episode every aired, it has found its place in the history of the music to the point where twenty years after its initial run, it was released on DVD. How many so called "failed" TV pilots can claim that?

But this was not his only contribution. He also ran a club called the Negril in the Bronx. He had the Rock Steady Crew perform regularly on Thursday nights. After growing tired of just the RSC, he heard about these b-boy battles taking place. The first battle he hosted pitted the Rock Steady Crew against the Floormasters. He liked the athleticism of the Floormasters and signed on to be their manager, changing their name to The New York City Breakers (hence the reason they were featured on "Graffiti Rock").

He also worked hard to bring graffiti artists together with the main stream art world including working with Fab 5 Freddy.

Michael Holman also wrote a book called "Breaking and the New York City Breakers."

Not bad for a guy who worked on Wall Street as a banker.
