I would be interested in reading this book. The phrase Todd is God pretty much describes how I feel about him and his music. Thanks, Johnnny

Should be an interesting read. While I was on vacation I read "Todd Rundgren: the Utopia Years" and enjoyed it. I was surprised about all the friction between he and Kasim in the early years, I guess I always just figured they were instant buddies.

Great, I really appreciate you ordering a copy. You're my one and only non-American customer!

If it' not too much trouble put a review on Amazon, I'd love to know what you think of it.
