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?

todd too is a hero of mine. i have seen him/utopia over twenty five times dating back to 1979. i'm sure i will go see this thing they call cartopia. i think he'll pull it off. as i read at one time he is a chameleon.
Not trying to hijack but has anybody have any positive experience with remastered Rundgren on disc(older stuff before 77ish?).Wanted to pick up TODD and SOMETING?ANYTHING and a few others but haven't yet and was wondering if anyone had luck with a certain release?
Maybe i should of started another thread but heck i am tired and didn't get much sleep.....zzzzz

Rundgren with the cars eh......yeah i was a huge fan along time ago but haven't listened for a long time.How is he sounding(and writing) these days?
at least they may sit out this summer's ringo starr's all- star tour this summer. paulina is starting to look like rick.
i've heard a couple of tunes of Todd with the new cars and they pull it off well. Todd is no Ocasek to watch so the live shows may be odd at first.

Seeburk, todd is still being his own unique self and writing a lot of good intellitent music. there are a few clunkers as to be expected. The thing i dig about todd is his willingness to take chances live. No playing it just like the record every time in my experiences over the last 20 yrs or so.
