Never saw him in concert, one of my most regrettable things in life!

I was at an upscale pet store in the mid 1970's, squatting down looking at the bottom row of kittens. Suddenly I heard a voice I recognized, I turned my head up to see, and towering above me was Todd. He was admiring the tarantulas. I must have had a look of incredible shock on my face, for he just looked at me. I stood up slowly and awkwardly said hi. There he is my idol standing next to me, all I can do is say hi and walk away in a daze.

I'm listening to the Utopia album right now, which I got when it first came out. What a piece of mastery!
