Todd Rundgren Fans Plan Utopian Community

A dedicated group of Todd Rundgren fans have taken the first step in planning a life long dream: to build a community where they can all live peacefully together. They have named it Utopia Village.

Many among Todd's legion of fans have been discussing the idea on and off for several years. Since they often travel to concerts and have been together for special events many have formed close bonds over time. Among them, it often comes up in conversation, "Wouldn't it be great if we could be together all the time?" Now, some of them are reaching retirement age and are factoring that idea into their plans.

They have formed a facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/UtopiaVillage where they have begun to share their ideas. Discussions are ongoing about location, types of housing, ammenities, etc. And, of course, a concert venue is part of the plan.

As the participants come from varied backgrounds many are offering their skills to make the project a reality. Among them are carpenters, plumbers, accountants, business managers, real estate professionals, and of course, a pychotherapist.

A target date of three to five years has been set for completion.

If you would like to contribute, or if you are just curious, search for Utopia Village on facebook or visit https://www.facebook.com/groups/UtopiaVillage/

Todd Rundgren Jokes

Thought we would go to the lighter side of things today. Here are a few Todd Rundgren related jokes.

The first one is from the February 14, 2007 episode of 30 Rock:

In the episode one someone calls Tina Fey's charecter, Liz Lemon, the "C" word.

She was offended and when discussing it with her producer/another writer she refused to repeat the word.(which by the way was cleverly concealed).

She told the writer the word rhymed with the title of his favorite Todd Rundgren album and he looked puzzled and asked "someone called you something that rhymes with The Hermit of Mink Hollow?"



"Mommy! Mommy! When I grow up I want to be a guitar player like Todd Rundgren!"
"Now Johnny, you can't do both!"




A Todd fan died and ended up in hell. The devil greeted him and showed him to a room. All there was in this room was a stereo. The devil tells the Todd fan that only he controls the stereo, and anything he does to try and turn the stereo off will raise the temperature in his room one degree. So the devil turns the stereo on and puts on Something/Anything, and hits the repeat button. "I'll see you in a thousand years" he says, and slams the door.

A thousand years go by and the devil is making his rounds and comes to the Todd fan's room. He opens the door only to find the room the same temperature as when he left. The devil is amazed by how much self control the fan has shown and decides that he had learned his lesson and was going to let him go. So the devil turns off the music, and before the devil has a chance to say anything, the fan turns around and says "Hey, I was listening to that!"



How many Todd fans does it take to change a lightbulb? One to actually change it, 10 to take pictures of it, and 100 to talk about it on Facebook.
