“Peacemaker” needs to be released again. We have come full circle into a time when the musicians need to stand up and speak out against tyranny.

Love, Hope, Peace, & Christ Be With You,

"Magnet and Steel" was recently in a movie that for the life of me I cannot remember…anyone, anyone? I thought it was in a Ben Stiller or Owen Wilson movie, but the title fails me. There was a couple in the car and they had magnetic necklaces or something like that, and that song was playing in the background. HELP! This is driving me crazy!

Thanks, Terje. I comment too much here, but I try to keep it positive. So does everyone else, of course, which makes this such a fun site to visit.

"Cold Morning Light" is a great self-pity song. Oh, Rundgren, you provided such a great soundtrack as I wallowed in my own self-pity in the spring of 1996 once I discovered "Something/Anything?"

Jason, I saw "Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut" last week. It is disjointed, and it’s possible Donner would’ve made a better film than the finished version if he hadn’t been fired, but his cut makes you realize what a good editor Richard Lester was. For example, Donner’s cut includes too many lame lines from Lex Luthor; Lester’s cut makes Gene Hackman shine much more, and Lester never even got the chance to direct Hackman in any reshoots. The new scenes with Brando are pretty good, but I’ll discuss all of that on the "Nerdy" portion of your site later.

Rundgren has had many mellow moments, such as his first solo single "We Gotta Get You a Woman," although not quite as mellow as those listed above. His album Something/Anything? goes from hardcore R&B, bar rock, and just plain studio weirdness to extremely mellow gold with songs like "Hello It’s Me" and "Cold Morning Light."

my two cents: Quien es mas wussy: "Can We Still be Friends"

Thanks Robert. Jason’s site is turning into a veritable ’70s soft rock encyclopedia with his great posts and your equally interesting comments.

Rundgren’s various stabs at mellowness were first mentioned, as far as I know, in Mellow Gold #13:

Hello, it’s me. This is scary. I suggested Rundgren to Jason just yesterday, not noticing these last comments. Jason, did that happen more or less simultaneously? Robert, have you guys discussed "Hello It’s Me" previously? Which post was that?

You missed the set-up! All you had to do was reply with "It’s important to me!"
