Opinions on Todd Rundgren fronting the New Cars?


Todd's a hero of mine. While he's certainly made some very strange ideas work in the past, I'm a bit nervous about this one. I understand a cd is out next Teusday with a tour to follow in the spring. Anyone know anything?

I don't see how they can even have Cars anywhere near the name without Orr and Ocasek.
Maybe Ocasek is still in the band and Todd is replacing the late Benjamin Orr. Ric's early album were quite good,Beauitude was very good and the Emotions in Motion was great too.
The press release I saw that prompted this thread indicated that Ric was out, Todd and Kasim in. I don't know much more than that.
Egads,

Two parts The Cars
Two parts Utopia
One part The Tubes

Hopefully, the upside will be that The Cars won't be as deathly boring live as they were in their heyday.

Any chance for "White Punks On Dope", "Number 1 Lowest Common Denominator", and "Last Ride" as the encore?

Just joking, the guitar solos on those two Rundgren tunes are unbelievable live. While I at a wish list, toss in "Initiation".
