He has released 10 albums, three cassettes, and one single. He’s driven thousands upon thousands of miles to perform over 600 dates in at least 100 cities, and has played abroad in five other countries. He typically permits himself only one beer per set; thus, at a minimum of, say, two sets per show, that’s at least 1,200 beers consumed in the line of duty playing rock ’n’ roll onstage. <img src="http://media.metropulse.com/metr/content/img/photos/2008/12/17/todd-steed.jpg"/> ]]></description><author>coury@metropulse.com (Coury Turczyn)</author><pubDate>Wed, 17 Dec 2008 20:44:00 -0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-14111-733393</guid><enclosure url="http://media.metropulse.com/metr/content/img/news/tease/2008/12/17/steed_todd.jpg" length="60004" type="text/plain"></enclosure><category>stories/music</category><apcm:ContentMetadata><apcm:ByLine Title="Managing Editor">Coury Turczyn</apcm:ByLine><apcm:DateLine>Knoxville, TN</apcm:DateLine><apcm:HeadLine>Todd Steed: Unstuck in Time</apcm:HeadLine><apcm:Characteristics MediaType="Text"></apcm:Characteristics><apcm:Source Url="http://metropulse.com" City="Knoxville" CountryArea="TN">MetroPulse</apcm:Source><apcm:SlugLine>todd-steed-unstuck-time</apcm:SlugLine></apcm:ContentMetadata><apnm:NewsManagement><apnm:ManagementId>urn:publicid:metropulse.com:news-Story-14111-733393</apnm:ManagementId><apnm:ManagementType>Change</apnm:ManagementType><apnm:ManagementSequenceNumber>0</apnm:ManagementSequenceNumber><apnm:PublishingStatus>Usable</apnm:PublishingStatus></apnm:NewsManagement></item><item><title>Literary Art
