It's all all Philly show to celebrate the end of the Spectrum in Philadelphia, soon to be imploded and turned into a parking lot.

1. I never knew Todd Rundgren was a Philly guy
Why, then, do the Packers play "Bang on the Drum" after a TD? :shrug:

3. No idea - perhaps it's just because it's a cool song
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Rundgren

Rundgren was born in Upper Darby, PA. He began his career in Woody's Truck Stop, a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based group based on the model of Paul Butterfield Blues Band. However, he left the band to form the garage rock group Nazz in 1967. The group gained minor recognition with the songs "Open My Eyes" and "Hello It's Me" (#41 Canada). (He later recorded a solo, uptempo version of "Hello It's Me"; it became a Top Ten hit and remains one of his signature songs (#17 Canada)). Nazz released three albums during this time - Nazz (1968), Nazz Nazz (1969), and Nazz III (1970).

Upper Darby is also home to the famed Tower Theater - that's where I saw the Hooters play the first time!

4. That does sound like a good time
I love Hall & Oates, especially the earlier stuff.
