b"Few rock stars can match Todd Rundgren's combination of brilliance, breadth and balls. The guy writes hit songs; plays all the instruments; produces hits for other stars; breaks new ground with video, graphics and online networks; scores tunes for TV shows and movies, and tours with Beatles.\\n\\nJust don't ask Todd to perform his hits. And whatever you do, don't call him a rock and roller.\\nFind out why in this hour-long interview, recorded by Kevin Coughlin of MorristownGreen.com in advance of Todd's Sept. 15, 2010, 'Todd/Healing' concert in Morristown, NJ. \\n\\nTodd talks about the origins of his 1974 album 'Todd' and 'Healing' from 1981. Was 'Healing' inspired by a brush with death? How did Phil Rizzuto slide into a Meat Loaf album on Todd's watch? Who are Todd's guitar gods? And what's a Ringo tour like?\\n\\nTune in for all this and more, from MorristownGreen.com."
