Considering Bat Out Of Hell is hands down the biggest album Rundgren ever produced, I don't think he would really make a fool of Meat to such a degree as everyone thinks. It was just a playful dig at his old buddy. Also, Jim had far more insulting comments about Meat in the 1980s that everyone seems to have let pass.
In the end, it doesn't matter. Rundgren seems like a cool guy, but a bit of an asshole. And I'm sure Meat understands. After all, he knows the man pretty well.
