Admiral Television?

I was recently listening to the CD "War Babies" by Hall & Oates. It features some absolutely screaming guitar solos, so I checked the liner notes. Guitars are credited to Hall, Oates, Richie Cerniglia, Todd Rundgren and "Admiral Television". A web search for Admiral Television turned up nothing. Anyone know who this is?

TIA.

Oh, and Kenny Aaronson played some slide guitar. Rick Derringer played slide on War Babies. There's a connection here. Kenny played bass on the War Babies tour.

Also look to drummer Eddie Zyne. He played for Hall and Oates in '74 and also Derringer. He's one of the biggest Todd Rundgren fans of all time.

I got nothing for you about the guitar playing on "War Babies". Just wanted to say, this is a great thread. Wish all the stuff on A'gon was as collaborative and positive. FWIW now I gotta buy "War Babies" and "A Wizard a True Star" not to mention seeing what RD has out solo-wise.

the other listed bass player on war babies, john siegler, became the bass player in utopia and also played bass in (no. 1 suspect) rick derringer's epononymously-titled band, deringer. now watch, we're all on the wrong track.

Have we completely eliminated John Oates?
