Todd's a sage. His lyrics demonstrate a universal and timeless wisdom not many artists ever come close to in their subject matter. TODD ROCKS!!!!!

Awesooooome! I must have been six when I watched this tour on vhs with my dad and brother, and I can still remember the feelings associated. Even at six years old Todd was able to communicate profound understandings to me through his art. I'm 22 now. Have collected almost every Todd/ Utopia album. My kids will have been born to synthesize as well.

It Is an Absolute Crime that this Man Mr. Todd Rundgren IS NOT in The Rock&Roll Hall of Fame.

Completely Stoopid & Ridiculous! What A TRUE Talent! One of My favorite Artists. A Big Influence on Me as a Musician! God Bless You! Todd :)

Touches a part of my spirit only Toddŝ writing can! Thank-you for your infinite wisdom and being able to share it through your music, the core of my spirit is soooo grateful! God Bless You Todd

Had the good fortune to see this tour and the subsequent tour while in Boston.

This song  brings back so many memories...touches of sadness and pain. We've all been there---chasing down someone that we'll never catch. And eventually we'll have to come to the reality that it's just not going to happen.

I saw this show in L.A., drove up from San Diego, and felt like I was slightly out of my body the whole time. There's something about the just-to-one-side-of-reality feeling that Todd manages to evoke. All that acid either gave him a key to the inside or merely showed him that he already was a wizard. Todd speaks, through tone or something--also fearlessness--to something pure.

@ rgaleny: " Parallel Lines Never Do Cross Over". IMHO, I interpret this song as meaning, couples, try as hard as they will to come together and make a relationship work. However, if they are opposites, it never will work, because "Parallel Lines Never Do Cross Over". Trust Me, I lived this song!!.

God, does he look and sound GREAT here or what?? Whew! Love his suit a la Todd style. Someone asked about the backup singers.....he married the blonde in the middle, Michelle Grey when he was 50. She's a broadway show lover and makes costumes for Todd's musicians.....she also had Todd tattoo wedding ring on his finger! As all of us ToddLovers drool, it's reported she's also a very sweet woman. Have to be to live with a heart like Todd.

One of TR's best compositions, and that is saying something!

This song is about lovers and friends. But isn't it also about all of us coming and goingi in each others lives in both good and bad ways. Men must ENDURE. In their coming, as in their going hence. So, Say goodbye to Hollywood.
