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! > Stewart listed two of my favs by RH: > "Ted, Woody and Junior" & "Vibrating" ( the later is from the same > album as baloon man and I prefer it, if I had to make the choice). > > I also am fond of one called "She doesn't exist anymore".

I forgot all about the other tracks, and indeed, "Vibrating" is very cool. I'll have to look for more of Robin's output.

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...
