TODD RUNDGREN FROM THE CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION

Had I remembered that it was doomsday, I'm sure I would have died of fright.

February 24— Had I remembered that it was doomsday, I'm sure I would have died of fright. As it was, traveling through blinding rain at 100 mph only had me petrified. Every time the driver swerved from the road to its shoulder I closed myeyes. They say prayer doesn't work. I know it does. Either that, or for some unknown reason God wanted me here on earth a day longer than seemed possible at the time. You see, the driver of this car had a pilot's license and since we couldn't get a flight out of the city he decided he'd fly the car.

So there I was, supersonic hydroplaning on my way to catch a glimpse of Todd Rundgren's --newest project, a revised version of Utopia. The band's latest record, Ra, gave me reason to believe that this was Todd's first real group involvement since the days of Nazz.
