Admiral Television?

I was recently listening to the CD "War Babies" by Hall & Oates. It features some absolutely screaming guitar solos, so I checked the liner notes. Guitars are credited to Hall, Oates, Richie Cerniglia, Todd Rundgren and "Admiral Television". A web search for Admiral Television turned up nothing. Anyone know who this is?

TIA.

Oh, and Todd's wife said that your guess of Rick Derringer was a good one because he and Todd have always been such good friends.

Thanx, Don.

So it seems that Todd actually did that wild solo on the track "70s Scenario", after all...

I wouldn't have guessed that (and I'm only a half step behind your wife's Todd worshipping buddies). I've seen him perform a couple of dozen times over the years and I must say that the "Scenario" solo is definitely a different direction for Todd.

Live 'n learn. Thanx again for the inside info.

Marty. I guess this guy my wife works with is friends with Paul Ryan who authored a book on Todd Rungren. He told my wife theres a whole chapter on War Babies. It must be interesting if there's a whole chapter on it.
