FUTURE by Todd Rundgren

I remember... taking my parents to the 1964 world's fair when I was nine. In those days we had a future. The GM exhibit called "World of Tomorrow" made a big impression on consumers of all ages. GM was an innovative company, hard to believe today. The song is by Todd Rundgren. It is pure and evocative etc. Enjoy.

This is a very well-done video and I know Todd would have approved it for his "Future" song from "Liars" cd.

Thank you so much. We need a vision of the future now more than ever. In the early 60's, our culture had goals, and prosperity. Then there was the "swing to the right."

...actually, I just found something better, there's footage of the Futurama ride on YouTube, but it doesn't allow me to post a link...'64-'65 NY World's Fair Futurama ride video...

..funny, GM didn't predict they'd be broke in less than 50 years!!

I remember The Futurama exhibit at the '64 World's Fair...I've thought about it a lot over the years...even tried to build my own little futuristic cities when I was a kid..I just looked up the brochure on line and found it, recently, you should check it out, if you're interested, it brings back a lot of memories...Todd used to sound like he was from the future, sort of...he always added a little bit of parody, too, which is, of course, what this is..what's up with all the bird footage, though?

I'm only 48, but I remember the world of tomorrow too. Now we're going backward. Women eschew science, supersonic airplanes are only for the military, every Mac peripheral costs $30 or more, and our new interstate bridge is going to be an ugly affair devoid of architectural interest. The things that have gotten better are world cuisine, beer, and open source everything. Your video is exactly what I envisioned for this song. Well done! BTW, my mom had gold lamé pants and wore them well.

Give me real righteous psychic/hyperdimensional powers so that I can fly/warp through the ether better than an Ultraterrestrial Heat Critter
