Christmas day, 2006

I cannot believe it!  You know the Nazz Nazz album has the guitar antics of Todd Rundgren which I have always loved to rock to.  Under the Ice is a classic – just about the whole album is a keeper.  It is said that after this album, since he wasn’t considered like Clapton, that’s what spawned the Todd album with all those ballads – (Hey, our gain!)  And I’ll tell you what, I’ve always wondered, just what is all the hype about “Clapton is God” stuff?  And then I saw the other week the only footage of Blind Faith, and the preamble has Eric talking about him not being frustrated in traffic because he can take his frustrations out in his guitar playing, and I’ll tell you what, I was impressed with his riffing away for the first time in my life.  He IS a good guitarist.  I never thought of him as more than average before.  But here is where we part ways, I agree with Todd, after Nazz Nazz the rest of the world should have crowned him rock guitarist of the decade, but no, no recognition.  Oh well.  So you’ve got Under the Ice, Rain Rider, Hang on Paul, Kiddie Boy, and whatever else you want to hang your hat on.  THIS IS rock ‘n’ roll!!!  But after all these years THIS is what freaked me out.  I went to a lyrics website (who can understand all the words?) and Forget All About It is like my theme song!  I always liked the song, of course, but I didn’t know what it was saying before.  (and I think neither will you, unless you have the lyrics printed out in front of you!)  This brings to mind many things. First of all I’d like to relate to you a short story – a band I was in around 1981 – the guitar players girl friend informed us that the Stevie Nicks song about a “white winged  dove” wasn’t about anything, they were just words for the song….  Which is along the lines I thought for a long time in my -playing – songs are written so that the guitar player can have a solo.  End of that story.  I love listening to Nazz Nazz, but I never realized how deep the lyrics were to the first song.  If you ever get a chance – enjoy!

    Tom, Nazz Nazz was one of the best albums Todd ever did. A true genius. I loved the Red Vinyl edition of the album. Stop by http://www.recorddealer.com when you get a chance. As one FF to another.
