The band for the TODD & HEALING Tour = Todd Rundgren + TBA
"Few records can plausibly be called great. 'TODD' is pre-eminently one of them."
(An except from a 'TODD' re-release review written by Ian McDonald (RIP 8/21/03) for Uncut magazine 1999)
"Perhaps the largest achievement of the 'HEALING' album, though, is that it manages to be both psychologically calming and intellectually invigorating."
(An excerpt from a 'HEALING' review written by Parke Puterbaugh for Rolling Stone magazine 1981)
"These shows are proposed and promoted by the fans," Rundgren says.
"I'm lucky to have a very loyal audience. It seems like some of them
will come out for just about anything. But because the album
re-creation shows are a much bigger production with a bigger band and
more expenses, I can't afford to do them all the time."
(Todd Rundgren interview from the Memphis Flyer 4/14/10)
Open your eyes and see The world I couldn't change for you Reach out your hand and take The world that will belong to you
We were on our way to a better day And the spirit was in us all But as time went by we fell by the wayside Maybe you'll be the last to fall
You are the only ones There is nobody left but you You are the chosen ones There is nobody else to choose
Back when I was young, my hope was strong But the time blew it all to hell If I thought I knew what was good for you I would have gone and done it for myself
Worlds of tomorrow Life without sorrow Take it because it's yours Sons of 1984
I can still see the great panorama of hate Being cleansed by our loving hands But the brothers broke stride, the sisters cried Now you have to start all over again
