I think it helps during times like these to find your sense of humor if one exists. The Todd fans I met are a special sort. Most are compassionate and understanding. Most realize that a dank show is not a function of him not caring.
I feel sorry for the people that attended the Melbourne show and did not like it. Either you just don't get it or perhaps you had a bad night as well. Of course we all want the shows to be the best. He should aim for that. I think ultimately, he does. Honestly, do you believe that Todd wants to put on sub-standard show?
When I go to see Todd Rundgren, I am not going with the intention of seeing just a show. I am going to see someone I truly admire and respect on many levels. If he decided to throw the frick'n guitar away and talk about how much of a bizarre crazy ass Rick Santorum is at the Harrisburg PA show, I would love it! ( hint hint:))
Hmmmm....Santorum - Speaking of bad shows... :)
