From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal:
TODD RUNDGREN
8 p.m. Tuesday, Pabst Theater. $35.
Todd Rundgren is the epitome of a musician with a cult following, which can be good, because there's always an attentive and reliable fan base, and bad, because wild-eyed cultists can turn off potential fans.
Still, even the curious might brave the converted to catch this show, not because it has been advertised (sardonically?) as featuring "four decades of hits," but because Rundgren has brought along Jesse Gress, Kasim Sulton, Prairie Prince and John Ferenzik.
All have played with Rundgren: Sulton primarily in Utopia (Rundgren's prog-rock group) and Prince notoriously in the New Cars (the Cars, with Rundgren replacing Ric Ocasek).
They can handle Rundgren's material — from the soft-rock classic "Hello It's Me" to this year's deliberately arty pop album "State" — in ways that might convince the hesitant to believe he's the pioneering genius that his cult claims he is.

Actually I think we are very welcoming group.
