Todd Rundgren returns to IU for homecoming parade
By Mike Leonard mleonard@heraldt.com
October 24, 2011
Rock star and musical impressario Todd Rundgren will return to the Indiana University campus Friday to serve as grand marshal of this year’s homecoming parade.
He’s more than a fitting choice, given this year’s homecoming theme: “Rocktoberfest.”
The acclaimed songwriter, musician and producer served at the ninth instructor in the Wells Scholars Program at IU last fall. He gave several lectures and question-and-answer sessions for IU classes and performed a free recital at Auer Hall.
Rundgren also joined the IU’s Marching Hundred at Memorial Stadium during last year’s football game against Northwestern, leading a brief rendition of his sports stadium favorite, “Bang the Drum All Day.”
As grand marshal, Rundgren will ride in a convertible during the parade, which starts a 7 p.m. at Third and Jordan and culminates at Sample Gates at Kirkwood and Indiana. This year’s event will feature the inaugural Homecoming Light Parade, in which entries in the parade and participants are encouraged to use lighting in a variety of ways such as holiday lights, glow sticks, flashlights, car flashers and more, according to Tricia Riveire, alumni programs officer.
After other remarks and activities in the pep rally at Sample Gates, Rundgren will lead the Marching Hundred in a full version of “Bang the Drum All Day,” a jaunty, popular song regularly played at sports arenas across the country

Todd Rundgren's Utopia Touring Together Again for the First Time in 35
Todd Rundgren's Utopia Touring Together Again for the First Time in 35 years, Makes a Stop in Peekskill, NY
Todd Rundgren's Utopia adds a date in Peeksill, NY as part of their limited engagement east coast tour.
Todd Rundgren's UTOPIA
Peekskill, NY (PRWEB) October 19, 2011
Utopia /juːˈtoʊpiə/ is an ideal community or society possessing a perfect socio-politico-legal system. The word was imported from Greek by Sir Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia, describing a fictional island in the Atlantic Ocean. The term has been used to describe both intentional communities that attempt to create an ideal society, and fictional societies portrayed in literature.
Todd Rundgren’s Utopia (circa late 1970’s) was just that, the perfect collection of musicians coming together to create an ideal sound.
On January 29 & 30, 2011, a reunion of most of the members of the 1974 Utopia Mark II band (Rundgren, Moogy Klingman, Ralph Shuckett, John Siegler, and Kevin Ellman) was held for two nights at the Highline Ballroom in New York City. Proceeds from the first show went to defray medical treatment for Klingman's bout with cancer. Material was drawn from the 1972-1975 catalogs of Rundgren and Todd Rundgren's UTOPIA. This marked the first time this classic lineup performed together in over 35 years. Both shows sold out within two days. Also joining this group of incredibly talented musicians are Jesse Gress and Kasim Sulton.
Todd Rundgren’s Utopia is together again (with the same line up as the January 2011 benefit shows) for a limited East Coast run. Their 11 date tour will be appearing at The
Paramount Center for The Arts, In Peekskill, NY on Friday, November 18th.
