"Todd Rundgren recently wrapped up the first season of his six-episode live interactive virtual TV series, The Todd's Honest Truth, with a final show that included a segment during which the singer/songwriter stressed the importance of voting this November.

He noted that because it's a census year, the winning party will have the power to design the voting districts and, potentially, to design programs that could keep people from voting.

"You don't just vote for president, you are voting for everyone who's gonna have any effect on your life in the future," Todd maintains. "so you don't want people who will essentially bend the rules, will cheat in order to gain control, to be smarter than everybody else, depending on the fact that no one will vote the down ballot."

Rundgren, who has been an vehemently outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, finished the segment by declaring, "I'm not gonna tell you how to vote. Personally, I would never vote for an evil, lying, racist, misogynist, narcissistic, sociopathic, cowardly, incompetent, lazy, traitorous, fat, balding sack of moron.

He added, "[L]ikewise, I would never vote for anyone who was a member of the criminal organization that unquestionably supports the evil, lying, racist, misogynist, narcissistic, sociopathic, cowardly, incompetent, lazy, traitorous, impotent, fat, balding, short-fingered sack of moron. But that's just me. Vote your conscience."

8. i can't find anything more recent than from late march

but he wants to rerecord JUST ONE VICTORY and let dem candidates use it

"Todd Rundgren Recruits Joe Walsh, Daryl Hall for Democratic Campaign Anthem
All-star re-recording of his 1973 song “Just One Victory” will be free to any Democrat running for office in 2020

“Everyone is trying to figure out what they can do to get that maniac out of the White House,” Rundgren says on the phone from his house on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. “More importantly, to get the banana Republican Party out of governing wherever possible. The song will be available to any Democratic candidate that’s been approved by the DNC to use at for campaigns and at their rallies. They can also use it in a commercial if they so desire.”

Rundgren is essentially stranded in Kauai until the coronavirus situation winds down, which means that Was will play a large role in assembling the various guest contributions into a completed track. “He and I will go over everything and figure out who goes best in which part of the song,” Rundgren says. “But I don’t imagine that this project will be finished or nearing completion until June or so.”

Once that happens, any Democrat will have access to the song; they won’t have to pay a dime, not even to ASCAP or BMI. “It’s really the kind of thing to get people hyped up and ready to go out and vote,” Rundgren says. “That’s because we cannot go on like this. The banana Republican Party is an organized crime syndicate and it has permeated every level of government at this point. And so it isn’t enough to get rid of Trump. You have to get rid of all of them. They all have to go.”

17. I was thinking about that.. but

Todd Rundgren lives in Princeville.. on the North Shore of the Island where it's very lush because it rains a lot.

I've been hiking up there & it's Beautiful!

But if by chance.. I will! I bet he'd love it!

14. Todd is greatly under appreciated (except by TR fans)

I thought his song "International Feel" had some good lyrics for a democratic theme...

"International Feel"

Here we are again,
The start of the end
But there's more
I only want to see if you'll give up on me
But there's always more

There is more
International feel
And there is more
Interplanetary deals
But there is more
Interstellar appeal
Still there is more
Universal ideal
Still there is more
International feel

I swear something lies
In your ears and your eyes
Cause there's more
You hear and you see
Yet you do not believe
That there's always more

There is more
International feel
And there is more
Interplanetary deals
But there is more
Interstellar appeal
Still there's more
Universal ideal
Still there's more
International feel

I know, I know..


It seems to be ALL about inclusion.

One of the best concerts of my life... after UTOPIA was released.

For those of you familiar with the song, you now have an earworm...

[Beaverhausen]

15. Love Todd. Had tix to his concert this past spring that was postponed

Can't wait until we can go to concerts again.
