Very interesting! Kinda makes sense now! Did Ringo ever put this song, or
others from the tour with Carmen in the band, on CD? I know he did with
some of his tours. I always thought it would have been interesting to have
both Carmen and Rundgren in the same band!

I just dug out my old cassette of Globe of Frogs - great album! I forgot
all about the other tracks, and indeed, "Vibrating" is very cool. I'll have
to look for more of Robin's output. Were the soft Boys basically a backup
band for RH?

What do you mean? What would he "pontificate" about? And did some of these
customers know of and recognize him, or did they just think he was some
looney off the street? The lyrics on Globe of Frogs are pretty wacked out,
I would imagine he has a wild imagination and wit...
