NAZZ was a good band.
I listened to them back in the day.
Never cared at all for Haulin' Oats.

Being a MeatLoaf fan, I like Todd Rungren's songs too. The best Meat had was written by T.R.

Yes, he either produced or played with them in some capacity. Talk about a lot of history. I need cliff notes for his Wikipedia site.:eek:

Yes, a high water mark of 70s music that I revisited a year or two ago. Holds up well compared to a lot of other music of the same era and recorded at a club in my hometown: "Is it Enid Oklahoma...no, its Cleveland Ohio!"

A playmate of the month to be exact Bebe something or other, I can still picture her face and other parts.

I had meatloaf for lunch, makes a good samwich. Music? Meh, not so much.

I grew up in upper Darby PA, a block away from Todd and his family. After he became big, the rest of his family continued to live in the house in Upper Darby.

Now that's a blast from the past

Yes, he was part of the whole "blue-eyed soul" wave that came out of the Philly area.

Rundgren may be the USA's most underrated songwriter and performer. As for Darryl Hall, get his lp Sacred Songs to hear how he can stretch outside of Hall and Oates. Brilliant piece, that.
