I’m sticking with blue-eyed soul this week. I’m still hoping to be invited for a drink with Daryl and Todd. You never know what might happen.

Todd Rundgren wrote Can We Still Be Friends for his 1978 album Hermit Of Mink Hollow. A weird title for an album featuring one of Todd’s biggest hits.

We begin with the maestro:

Here’s a bossa nova version from With A Twist:

Robert Palmer had a minor hit with Todd’s tune in 1979.

Finally, Todd and Daryl Hall on the latter’s teevee show.

That’s it for this week. Let’s drink to a trash-free New Orleans. An unlikely prospect but I can dream. It’s what Bogie, Betty, and Frank would want. Never argue with them.
