Have you guys ever heard the story that Rundgren's
We Gotta Get You a Woman was written about
Paul Fishkin?
The inspiration for this song's lyric is a music executive named Paul Fishkin, who managed Rundgren's pre-Nazz group Woody's Truck Stop and worked at the Bearsville label with him. He and Rundgren became good friends, and they spent much of the summer of 1969 enjoying everything Manhattan had to offer. Fishkin didn't have much luck with the ladies, which is what Rundgren wrote the song about.
And now both Stevie and Todd are Hall of Fame inductees!
Since Stevie hooked up with Fishkin in 1978, I think Fishkin is the one who asked her to sing at
Rundgren's May 23, 1978, show at the Roxy.
