You betcha. And those tight tights too....Of course, the Raiders of the 60's gave up all that, but the critics will never let them forget it. Roll Eyes

What most people don't know is what a hard-workling, hard driving R&B band they were in those early days. They tore the Northwest up. They changed a lot over the years, as most long lived bands do...from rockin' to softer to pretty respectable stuff, especially on their album "Collage".

How fucked a position was Chuck in at this point that he was SO super fortunate for a Beatle to be keeping his name and legacy alive in the 70s by jamming with him on TV, but that he still had to be on the same stage as that no (music) talent Yoko Ono?

I'm reading "You Never Give Me Your Money" and I'm 100 pages in and hate Yoko more than I ever did prior.
