You are welcome ,sir. I am so glad to see a response on it ,because I have always loved that song. I was looking for others ,but really enjoyed seeing Todd's video , knowing how he was making his own.
Todd Rundgren is all about memories for me.I used to get each release as they came out. I remember hearing "Hideaway" for the first time and just being swept up in it. I just recently picked up a used cd pf "Ballad of Todd Rundgren" and it is a pure delight to re-discover  that one. "Be nice to me " may be one of the prettiest rock ballads ever.
Speaking of "Oblivion? 2 Kasim sung  songs ,"Love with a thinker" and "Maybe I can change" are outstanding.
