Re: [npc] The Cars reunite for Blondie tour

["rslovacek" <rslovacek>]

Huh, whaddya know.  I saw a tv commercial just this morning...well, sometime
before Lighttime AM, anyway, (I either have Artists' Time or
No-Sleepiness)...

The commercial was about a BLONDIE concert, with THE NEW CARS, WITH TODD
RUNDGREN!

    Dang,  This is nearly as much fun as watching the old apres-midnight
commercials about the Doggie-Vacuum Hair-trimmers!!  :D

  OOPS!

      Color me embarrassed!  It LOOKED to ME like Okasek, only older and with
  added chins.  I did think of Todd Rungdren too.

      Anyway, the band sounded good on at least that one song.

    Two-tone looks like Todd Rungdren to me. What a kook!
