KFOG, But Not 10@10

[Lightnin' Rod]

this is a database question, so I suppose it's directed to Mshray, but others may know the answer.   

While browsing, I found these two rows:


Date          Year/Them  Artist  Song
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 23, 2001   1971   Runt   We Gotta Get You A Woman
 April 12, 2002   1970   Runt   We Gotta Get You A Woman

that's Todd Rundgren, right?    I think he's at least 5'10", so what gives?

My guess is "intern error".  The data for the Shraytabase is captured from the KFOG website (by darryl, I believe), and added to the Shraytabase -- GIGO.

Wikipedia has no information on Rundgren's stature.   But "We Gotta Get You A Woman" IS from his first solo album Runt.

ETA:  Here's something I did not know, from wiki -- a Souply Sales connection!

While Tony Sales (son of comedian Soupy Sales) handles bass on Ballad, his brother Hunt Sales (who played drums on most of 'Runt', Rundgren's solo debut)

Todd's pseudonym on his first LP (post-Nazz and pre-everything else). Dunno why he chose it, I'm guessing maybe a childhood nickname? ("Hey, RUNT-gren...")

the Sales boys, of course, later joined Bowie in TinMachine. Jeez, how old were they in 1970? -- 12? 13?

This is all news to me, including the Sales info.  I thought Runt was a functioning band of which Todd was a member.  Either way, still sounds a lot like really early Steely Dan to these ears.

Yep, that's Todd, but this song (and the album it was released on) were issued under the name "Runt", a play on his last name I'd guess. I think this was his first solo release after Nazz broke up, and prior to Something/Anything.

Rod, are you going to "Golf With the Raiders"?  Charity event in Pleasanton.

Haven't heard anything about it, but those things are usually kind of pricey.  It's a pricey enough hobby already.

Gawd I hate this Jason Mraz song. He may think he's givin' it his "bestest" but I beg to differ. Fingernails on a blackboard.

Haha, that's my favorite album of the year, and one of my favorite singles.  Of course, I've been a Mraz fan since his debut and have a silly crush on him.

"silly" is the word, all right. Saw him recently doing talking-head duty on one of those VH-1 '80s things, with his smirk and his hipster hat. Ugh.

Just noticed that the KFOG web site is sporting new head shots of all of the airstaff (although Rosalie is wearing the same jacket she had on in the old one). Good shots of Dave and Annalisa, but Renee looks like she's rolling her eyes in hers. And Big Rick's mug is half in shadow--who signed off on that one?

But the KFOG blog pages are still MIA.

Great pics, but... Renee does need a re-do unless slightly silly is the desired look. I think Big Ricks is fine. Artistic shadowing.

I don't know why I was so pleased to hear the full "Layla" at 10 before the hour.  But it's a perfect song for right now.

Is Big Rick planning a career with the WWF?  Talk a bout looking COMPLETELY different than the previous pic:



He's lost some serious weight since the Live 105 days when he weighed over 300 lbs.

Sometime during his show yesterday he mentioned that he and a buddy had gone for a long and arduous bike ride earlier in the day.  So I guess he's been working on his physical fitness some.
