Bibliography
Interview
- 17.4.2003: The Day, New London, Connecticut: Todd Rundgren : "Well I did get to play lead on "White Room" and "I Feel Free" and some thing I'd dreamed about since my early years when I idolized (Cream guitarist Eric) Clapton and you never in your wildest dreams imagine get to do. But not that simple Sometimes when you meet these people you discover a dark side Let's just say that Jack Bruce has a dark side to the extent that I would never look forward to playing those songs again"
- 11.5.2003: Daily Record from Morristown, New Jersey, Page 87: :"Meanwhile, Brooker has been nourished by his forays outside of Procol, such as solo gigs and tours supporting Ringo Starr. "I find it very refreshing playing with Ringo or Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings or Eric Clapton," Brooker says. "Each one is a different kind of thing. Ringo is all over. You're playing your own songs; you're also playing Pete Frampton or Jack Bruce or Ringo or The Beatles. It gives you a really broad outlook. "It's nice to be up there with the kingpins, delivering and really enjoying it. But, you know, when you come back to Procol, it's a lot harder.(The Beatles') 'Yellow Submarine' is easier than (Procol's) 'Whaling Brooker adds with a laugh"
- 22.4.2007: Daily Record from Morristown, New Jersey, Page 120: :Todd Rundgren has regularly performed onstage, including a stint as guitarist for Ringo Starr's all-star touring ensemble, the All-Starr Band something Rundgren found challenging. "I had to do some things that I didn't expect to have to do, or that I hadn't done for a very long time, like play slide guitar," Rundgren said. "I used a wah-wah (sound-effect) pedal probably for the first time in my career onstage, on (Cream's) "White Room" It's an essential part of that song. So there were some challenges for me." Rundgren's participation was his way of saluting his musical heroes, such as Starr and Cream bassist Jack Bruce. "I know what I feel about Ringo and about all of those he said. "I've loved the music that's come out of every single one of them. So I felt like the kid in the band. "I didn't even have the sense of being In the same historical category maybe because I did my thing in the '70s, and most of the material we were playing were signature tunes of the '60s. I grew up with all of that music." Todd Rundgren (center) flanked by ex-Beatle Ringo Starr (left) and Cream bassist Jack Bruce."
