Remote Control is the fifth album released by the Tubes. This was their first to be produced by Todd Rundgren (the other being 1985's Love Bomb). It is a concept album about a television-addicted idiot savant. Originally released in 1979, this is on A&M Records - SP-3242. Producer #toddrundgren suggested that the next work be a concept album. Lead singer #feewaybill sketched out a storyline based on his favorite book, Being There by Jerzy Kosinski. "It wasn't an original concept," he admits, but "I tried to make it more contemporary." Rundgren encouraged the musical adaptation, and thrust himself into the project, as was his style: "Every song has so much of him," marveled #prairieprince #rockandroll #70s #thetubes #aandmrecords #vincewelnick https://www.instagram.com/p/CIdqE3RLa7X/?igshid=wxi08znirkt0
