it would later be the second video played on MTV.The following year, he released his first solo album in three years, the spiritually inclined Healing.Negotiations with Bearsville held up the release of A Cappella for months.Once the deals were completed, Rundgren was finally free of Bearsville and he signed to its new parent company, Warner, which released A Cappella in September 1985.Over the course of the recording sessions, tensions grew between Rundgren and the group's main songwriter, Andy Partridge, eventually spilling over into outright hostility.It was his final record for Warner and the last record he would make for a major label.During this time, he also worked as a DJ on the acclaimed syndicated radio program The Difference with Todd Rundgren.He also did several television and film soundtracks, including the hit Farrelly Brothers movie Dumb and Dumber.In 1996, Rundgren launched Waking Dreams, a collective that developed creative ideas in marketable commodities.Use of this site is subject to express terms of use, which prohibit commercial use of this site."Todd Rundgren on MSN Music";s.CARSON and the groups drummer THOM MOONEY (who was featured on a Jimmy Buffett CD..Tony (bass) and Hunt (drums).IF he played most of the instruments on his Runt LP's).An old bumper sticker (condensed of course) from the 70's..Burito isn't made from YELLOW MATTER CUSTARD, heheh!!""Nice try, but we can STILL see you Thom..""Don't even THINK that about Thom !!"Or else he's a train engineer with a VERY tall roof !!!""Best of Todd Rundgren.Click picture to see full scan.Talk about feeling privileged!As promised Shandi,
