1. an underrated band, maybe not taken seriously because of the silly costumes they had to wear |
|
but those guys rocked and put out a bunch of high quality rockin' tunes like this one. I assume you're aware of the passing this past 4th of July of Drake Levin, who was not performing with them at this time due to having been in the National Guard . Still have my 45's of Kicks and Just Like Me. RIP Drake, and rock on Raiders.

3. I have a friend who just turned 70 and she was "forced" to chaperone her younger sister who was 11 |
|
to see the Beatles in Chicago in 1964. The next year her sister could have seen them again, but chose to see instead, yes, Paul Revere & the Raiders. I liked PR&R, but I think she should have seen the Beatles again given musical history.
