Oh, speaking of Todd Rundgren...
Did you see him on power lunch? What a trip! They had a trick question about which of the other guests on the air was formerly a drummer with Todd...
Piasanni claims he can't remember the 70's so it might have been him (right).
A venture capitalist, Bill Stensrud of Enterprise Partners was a possibility. His company brought STMP, EFNT, RTHM, NGEN, PKTR public and were early investors in JNPR, PDYN, GSPN. (He mentioned Air Fiber, Ensemble and Witcom as exciting up-and-comers.) He was a Grateful Dead roady in earlier days and met Todd back then.
But at the end of the segment, Bill revealed that the answer was the often featured planner, Kevin Ellman :o
Ellman was the drummer in Utopia!
BTW, they played two songs on the air, Todd's new "I hate my ********* ISP" and then (with Ellman sitting in) a Utopia song. They must have bent the meters because in the next segment with Maria, the sound was way whacked... |
