Opinions on Todd Rundgren fronting the New Cars?

Rundgren is a great experimenter, no doubt. And he definetly deserves credit for never getting stuck in a groove for too long.

But, I just don't see how The Cars monotonic music(which I like) is going to survive his guitar pyrotechnics. There's nothing better that when he lets loose one of his blistering solos.

Egads,

Two parts The Cars
Two parts Utopia
One part The Tubes

Hopefully, the upside will be that The Cars won't be as deathly boring live as they were in their heyday.

Any chance for "White Punks On Dope", "Number 1 Lowest Common Denominator", and "Last Ride" as the encore?

Just joking, the guitar solos on those two Rundgren tunes are unbelievable live. While I at a wish list, toss in "Initiation".
