Something/Anything?
[edit]- ... that "Hello It's Me" on Todd Rundgren's Something/Anything? was rehearsed and recorded live in under two hours by a pick up band having less than 48 hours' notice?

- In the Studio With Redbeard is syndicated and broadcast by conventional commercial FM radio stations such as KLOS and WLUP-FM. The stations would have to comply with standard broadcasting regulations, which in my view would make the original radio broadcast reliable. It's a primary source though, granted, as it's an audio recording of Todd Rundgren stating the session only took two hours himself, though I assume the original interview was longer and the editorial team chopped interview segments down, keeping this bit - which makes it more significant.

- I'm confused. The Super Seventies reference is not an audio recording. It does have reviews, but it seems unreliable and those reviews are not independently verified. SL93 (talk) 18:23, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
- I see where the confusion lies. When you said "the first reference" I assumed you meant the source citing the first fact in the hook (it comes from two separate sources). I have removed the superseventies reference from the article as it is, as you say, unreliable. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 08:43, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
I have finished the review and my concern about the unreliable source has been fixed. Both the article and the hook meet DYK criteria. SL93 (talk) 21:21, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
