Rundgren -- a veteran musician, producer and innovator -- was awarded an honorary doctorate by DePauw University at the 168th Commencement. As he was presented with the honor, the student band played "All The Children Sing" in an arrangement created by an undergraduate and Rundgren fan. The musical surprise created some confusion; as a result, Rundgren did not speak.

A few hours later, before he departed Indiana, Rundgren sat down with Ken Owen '82, executive director of media relations at DePauw, to record a message for DePauw's Class of 2017 and deliver the message he had intended to earlier. (Ken Owen)
