OT Happy New Year

holograms...they could use Elvis and Dick Clark with those things

Yes. Two days ago I watched a Utube vid with an amazingly young Dick Clark interview Mark Lindsay (lead singer of Paul Revere & the Raiders who I followed when I was 12) Lindsay was really clear and Clark had great questions. Worth your curiosity! Like to hear your take on it! Right now I'm listening to The James Gang Live Album from the Filmore (circa 1971-"That was a great summer") !!!!!

Mark grew up in Oregon.

Mark grew up in Oregon.

That is great! He also invested in real estate at the age of 22 in Oregon and Idaho. Can you imagine the real estate price values in 1967? He said he bought land in one area which became a small mall. He is very articulate and has his shit together!

No I think Mark's from Boston.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Born in Oregon but grew up in Idaho.

He always did, which helped get the Raiders their own TV show. His even temperament was good at skirting all sides in Hollywood, conservative and liberal. Here he is comedically playing both sides of the sex issue alongside John Byner, a comedian I watched many times on the Johnny Carson Show. Then he sings a song written by my cousin which maxed at about #25-30 in Los Angeles where I lived.

As for the guy who started this thread--Denny, I hope your health remains strong. Don't make like Paul Allen; let's see you sometimes.

Recently heard that when he moved back as a teenager he worked at the old gas station that used to be at the corner of Wilsonville Rd and Boones Ferry Rd. (Since torn down for a Fred Meyer). Back then this was the absolute boonies, a way stop on the road to Salem and points south. Probably as close to a celebrity as Wilsonville will ever have (with apologies to Walt Morey.....)

Listen to "Tighter". Although the lyrics are corny, the bass line is remarkably complicated for a 1968 band. I think the fact that your cousin wrote a song used by them is outstanding!

I'm listening. It wasn't a hit, but it's good. Was that 1968? I was going to say that the song's psychedelic sound effects were in vogue in 1967-68 hits, and were extinguished soon after Nixon took over. He declared war on the media and rock and roll was dead by the end of 1975, along with the leading magazines and a couple of leading newspapers.

Excellent! This had to be his solo period post 1974. I would say 1975. Wow, I miss those days!

It was early 1971, but you're right, it sounds schmaltzy like post-rock and roll late 70s. Watch (not just listen to) this next one. You see how commercial they were, with Paul's corny hick humor. That's what got them a mainstream afterschool TV show (along with 8 or 10 Top-10 hits). Teens had several programs like that from which to choose...Shindig, Hootenany, Hullabaloo, Where the Action Is, American Bandstand, and my favorite, Lloyd Thaxton.

Kicks and Hungry by Paul Revere and the Raiders....my sister was in love with Marl Lindsay and had his posters, probably belonged to their fan club...
