May the gods bless and cherish Ruth Rundgren. What an intuitive, warm, loving soul. I was honored to meet her a couple of times, and she made quite an impression on me.
Wow, thanks for uploading this, Ed! Believe it or not I have a photo of you while you were videotaping Mom Rundgren in this video. Imagine my surprise when I saw myself in the video, toward the end, when we were singing "One World". I had forgotten all about that part. Well, thanks again and take care!
Thanks for this awesome video Ed. Upper Darby looks so much like the neighborhood that I grew up in Pittsburgh. Blessings to Ruth, Todd and family. Gosh, Todd looks very much like his mamma.
WOW what a find, this video! I was at GARF '85 and recognize some of the faces in this video... Ruth of course, Mary, Patty and others... lots of fun pics in my photo album from that time in Philly. I remember asking Ruth about Todd knitting in class too! What a time, I'll never forget it.
Just Jeanne , Wow! Very impressed with you know of Todd.. Just viewing for 1st time. 😳 Been a fan for SO long.. It all began for me with my 1st Utopia show in Bloomington, IN. Ha! The Tubes opened for them.. Thanks for your input. All the best to you!
Thanks for posting..Ruth used to stop by our house on the way home from work at Jonasas..she would walk home...to have coffee or tea with my mom Kathren Greene.."Kitty"...and chat...my brother Steve and her son Robin were good freinds and jam at our house in the attic...upper darby was a great place to grow up in the 70's...
I remember Ed and Mary back in the day. Remember flying into Maryland and drove with Mary and someone else to Upper Darby to meet Ruth and Harry. Met Todd's sister and Robin. Thought it was '82 TEPTAE. Perhaps '84. 40 years ago. Wow! We all drove up to Wilkes Barre, PA to see Todd play. Later that evening at our hotel believe it or not... Todd showed up!
Cool beans Ed....Crate Paper on her skirt, sounds like a type of school I went to, we would cut or take to seam out of our bell bottoms and wear body shirts and we would get sent home to change or told not wear them anymore, we would say, this all we have to wear, call our mom, they finally gave up on us hippies or rebels..that was the late 60's and early 70's...Great story about underground school paper...Peace bird..
Many are still fans. Mary for one, who was one of the originators of Utopia Times. ME... guess you would still consider me a fan! LOL! Patty Hobart, who sings the school fight song. There are a lot of people, really don't know all.
Dude, before you were born Bobby knew I was a fan and he told me his name was on Todd's first album (Runt). I didn't find his name on it so I wasn't sure what was going on. About a year ago I looked at my Runt CD and saw the liner notes which were taken from the original paper liner on the album. I read those notes thoroughly and sure enough, Bobby's name was on there! When I bought the album way back my paper liner was just paper (no notes) so that's why I didn't see Bobby's name.
I love this! Todd's mom was so cool.
That's why Todd is so cool!
WOW! This is so cool... I remember seeing this video years ago. Ruth was such a dynamite lady, she is so loved and so missed... *peace*

Can't believe I grew up so close to him. Just 20 miles on the other side of Philly.
I remember a later one we were on a bus ……..

What is GARF?
Get Acquainted and Renew Friendships.
I guess you could call them the "Toddstocks" of the 1980s, minus Todd and band members.
This is awesome Ed! Thank you!

This is wonderful.
Besides Ed V. who else is in this video? who is still a fan?
Many are still fans. Mary for one, who was one of the originators of Utopia Times. ME... guess you would still consider me a fan! LOL! Patty Hobart, who sings the school fight song. There are a lot of people, really don't know all.
I was there that weekend and I think I'm in the group video at the end. Still a fan!
I think I'm in it too, looks like me, is it from one of the Todd Fests in California? I sure remember doing "One World".
Thanks Ed, Seamus...Go IRISH
Bobby Hummel lived next door from me when I was a kid,he was way older than me and I never believed him til right now😮
Dude, before you were born Bobby knew I was a fan and he told me his name was on Todd's first album (Runt). I didn't find his name on it so I wasn't sure what was going on. About a year ago I looked at my Runt CD and saw the liner notes which were taken from the original paper liner on the album. I read those notes thoroughly and sure enough, Bobby's name was on there!

BTW, this was MB sr replying to MB jr. in case someone is confused!
No that’s only a problem with that ladyboy who was jealous a girl liked me instead. Poor guy
I finally saw his name in Guitar Magazine in 2000.i was always told Bob taught Pat Croce how to play
Thank you Ed, Todd and Ruth! Here’s a little something for fun: th-cam.com/video/v3qnouiFDjQ/w-d-xo.html
Wow she looked like Todd
