RIP Paul Revere

[The Hemp Goddess]

You've got to be old to remember these guys. Paul Revere of Paul Revere and the Raiders died this morning. He lived not too far from where I grew up and I remember when they were a real "garage band" and played high school dances.

Not a huge name in Rock and roll, but put out some good stuff and was always the showman.

Back when Vegas had casino lounges, Paul Revere and the Raiders played at the Flamingo (Bugsy's place). My wife and I would nurse cheap drinks for two sets a couple of times a week. We were delighted as only children can be.

We do a handful of Raider's songs. Great group. RIP Paul.

Sorry to hear it. Saw the Raiders half a dozen times. Last time was at the amphitheater in my little burg. Time before was at the Great Lakes Regional for HOG. A nurse, dressed in the white garb, wheeled him out in a wheel chair with an IV pole and bag. It was all a joke, and he jumped out of the chair and put on a hell of a good concert. Even had one of his kids playing in the band. Still got the autographed CD I bought.

Seems to be a bad year for old rockers. We lost Johnny Winter a while back, too.

Keep the beat going, boys. We'll all be there soon.

Liked Johnny Winter too. That is what happens as we get old...our contemporaries tend to die off. I just love that old time rock and roll.
