  • When The Shit Hits The Fan / Sunset Blvd from A Wizard, A True Star.
    LYRICS:
    Earthquake in New York City,
    The Chrysler Building fell in my yard
    But when the shit hits the fan,
    I think I'll have to make my way
    Back to Sunset Boulevard
    Sunset Boulevard
    The IRA has just hit London,
    They blew up half of Scotland Yard
    But when the shit hits the fan,
    I guess I'll try to make my way
    Back to Sunset Boulevard
    Sunset Boulevard
    Cruisin' down a mountain highway,
    Someone's cut the brakes on my car
    But when the shit hits the fan,
    I know I have to get my ass back to...

    The Wizard is one of the greatest Experimental albums from the 1970’s. So far ahead of its’ time. So many great memories partying with the best peeps. Thank You Todd

      Definite truth right there. And a loss. I am one thankful human being. Made it to 71... 72 looks doubtful. Oh, the Humanity! I would love to listen to this on my next birthday celebration, this September. the month of Promises.

    I've always heard complaints about the audio quality on this gem. Todd, pushed the boundries of sonics to the hilt. However, I've always felt that the itchy quality of over compression added to the charm if this recording. A polished version would fall stiff upon these wide open earballs.

    I was dressed in my hip hugger bell bottoms fringe jacket little frilly mid belly top standing in line at the Agora Ball Room in Cleveland Ohio. About 7 pm in summer of 1971-72 there were many blunts passed thru the line in broad daylight. All the sudden a black stretch limo pulls right up to the curb and this guy gets out with a black top hat and black suit tails white shirt with long hair with a gold cane . We’re like whaaa? That’s Todd ! He comes to us does some chi chat tokes a blunt shakes some hands says “ I’ll see ya inside” and gets back in the Limo. That was far out man😉✌️🤗

      Thanx for your acknowledgement. I have been to a few Todd shows. The last two times was in a club on Sherman way in the San Fernando Valley. He performed Lord Chancellor's nightmare song both times plus a piano piece by Debussy. Todd does not use his middle finger on his right hand while playing piano. Just a bit of trivia for you. Also saw him on Vine in Hollywood California about a block from Hollywood Blvd. He did Bang the drum. Awesome!!

      He had an EMS VCS3 synthesizer around this time (see the gatefold sleeve artwork for Something/Anything?, and the credits of Runt: The Ballad), so I'm guessing he had that.
