winner of the autographed Todd Rundgren Arena CD
OK, I guess it’s time to announce the winner of the autographed Todd Rundgren CD. But first I just have to say that I had a blast reading through all of your entries. Thanks to all those that participated in this CD drawing. There’s no question that Todd Rundgren has a rich and deep catalog of songs and so it was fun seeing the variety of favorites people submitted this past week. I thought it’d be interesting to tabulate everyone’s favorites and post an overall Top Ten list of the most requested songs. …You know, just in case Todd ever wanders by my blog to see what his fans are clamoring for. ..yeah, I KNOW it’s highly unlikely. but hey, a fan can dream, right?
so here are the overall Top Ten songs that fans would love for Todd Rundgren to perform in concert:
1. The Last Ride
2. Fair Warning
3. Parallel Lines
4. Utopia Theme
5. Don’t You Ever Learn?
6. We Gotta Get You A Woman
7. World Wide Epiphany
8. Fade Away
9. Just One Victory
and TIED for the 10th spot on the list- Change Myself, Love is the Answer, When the Shit Hits the Fan/Sunset Blvd.
I received a total of 129 entries for the CD drawing. I numbered all the posted comments sequentially in order of appearance and then went over to Random.org to generate a random number between 1 and 129. The website generated the number #94. And so the winner of the autographed Todd Rundgren Arena CD is…

Congratulations! You should be receiving an email from me. If you don’t find a message from me in your inbox, please go ahead and email me your mailing address via my contact page. I’ll be forwarding your address on to Todd’s management. They are planning to get Todd to sign the CD during the October U.S. leg of the tour so you should be receiving the CD sometime after that.
As always, support Todd by seeing him live at one of his upcoming shows. If he’s not scheduled in your neck of the woods yet, why not try calling one of your local concert promoters to demand a Todd show near you!!! yeah, let’s be proactive!

Well, under other circumstances I might be saying, “Dang! I should have picked “Two Little Hitlers” or maybe “The IKON” or…
But I must take this moment to credit you for your absolute fairness in creating a true random drawing. And it was fun reading everyone’s choices, for sure!
Well, that’s just OUTSTANDING!!! Thank you so much!!!! It’s been a rough couple of weeks here in H-town, TX. Perhaps this is the beginning of things starting to look up a bit.
Thanks again,
