Interview: Todd Rundgren on John Lennon, Ringo Starr, New York Dolls and more | Louder

Posted on March 16, 2022 By webcatt_admin

Todd Rundgren on his public bust-up with a Beatle, the “freaking circus” of the New York Dolls, and why he doesn’t pay much attention to Bon Jovi

The New York Dolls weren’t presented to me, they were just part of the milieu I was involved in at the time. I was still living in New York in an apartment that was walking distance from Max’s Kansas City which is where everything was happening; there was no CBGB yet. There were a lot of bands that were performing what was referred to as ‘the New York Scene’; it was not called punk rock yet.

I knew I was going to be leaving New York to move upstate to Woodstock and entering a new phase, so I wanted to do one of these bands as a farewell to my New York lifestyle. The band that was creating the most excitement and actually got signed first was the New York Dolls.

I was such a fixture on the scene and was having wild success with my production work, it was a logical step for me to work with them. I went to see the band play a couple of times and met up with them, and knew that were certain members with whom the musical responsibility lay and then there were guys who were living the dream.
