Admiral Television?

I was recently listening to the CD "War Babies" by Hall & Oates. It features some absolutely screaming guitar solos, so I checked the liner notes. Guitars are credited to Hall, Oates, Richie Cerniglia, Todd Rundgren and "Admiral Television". A web search for Admiral Television turned up nothing. Anyone know who this is?

TIA.

FYI, it turns out that the author is called Paul Myers.

Sorry about that. I think the news has gotten the best of me lately. It has taken over my brain (whats left of it). I have nightmares about politicians. I was mowing the lawn after that post and was asking myself if I typed Paul Ryan.

Well, what do you know about that. I've been following this thread with interest, and never would have guessed. One cool thing is that it's got me listening to some Todd Rundgren records I haven't played in many years. I saw him only twice -- both times way back when -- and thought he was awesome both times.

Hodu,

If you want to hear Todd flog his guitar, check out his recent disc called "Todd Rundgren's Johnson". He covers about a dozen Robert Johnson classics and just kills 'em. It's a little strange to buy something from TR that features someone else's songs (because - IMHO - he's one the half dozen best songwriters of my lifetime), but this is one of my favorite blues guitar records ever.
