Anxy's Moldy Oldy Of The Day: HELLO IT'S ME by Todd Rundgren 
Hello, it's me I've thought about us for a long, long time Maybe I think too much but something's wrong There's something here that doesn't last too long Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine Seeing you Or seeing anything as much as I do you I take for granted that you're always there I take for granted that you just don't care Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through It's important to me That you know you are free 'Cause I never want to make you change for me Think of me You know that I'd be with you if I could I'll come around to see you once in a while Or if I ever need a reason to smile And spend the night if you think I should It's important to me That you know you are free 'Cause I never want to make you change for me Think of me You know that I'd be with you if I could I'll come around to see you once in a while Or if I ever need a reason to smile And spend the night if you think I should Think of me... Think of me... Think of me

I enjoy the Isley Brothers remake just about as much!I agree, I love both versions. I love the breezy feel, punchy piano and guitar work of Rundgren's version. However, Ron Isley's voice is priceless on the remake and Ernie's guitar work is sublime. [This message was edited Fri Aug 6 16:32:00 2004 by DorothyParkerWasCool] | |

I like the stop/start intro as he does it in the studio on his Something/Anything album. Never heard the first version by the Nazz. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

I'm sure Todd's predates Prince's by quite a few years. That picture looks like it could be from the '77 Pyramid Tour. An Ice/Glass guitar was also used that gets smashed during the set. This tour also featured John "Willie" Wilcox's motorcycle drum kit. tA  Tribal Disorder

ya know, come to think of it, i'm listening to a todd rundgren greatest hits disc over and over here at work tonight (i'm sure my co-workers just LOOOVE me), and a lot of prince's prettier, more introspective stuff from the '80s reminds me a lot of what i'm listening to right now. | |
