I could give my long dissertation on the 'White Album' and how 73% of all music can be found on it.... but how much fun it must have been way back when to do what ever you wanted and it would be 'close' to groundbreaking? is that Ten' oh how I like ............

Yes, there was a 1966 Batman movie* made with the TV cast was hilarious. If you like cheesy 1960's stuff that is.
The most recent Wallace and Gromit movie, A Matter of Loaf and Death, does a hommage to the bomb scene from the '66 move.
That was a bit obsure of them but you can never tell when a fan will pop up... Since Gromit doesn't say much, it lacked the "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb"... quote, but was otherwise complete with ducks and nuns.
*I think the first Batman movie was made in 1943!

Yup, Red Guitar: ditto (see my post well after you). Amazing how many posters saw them on WTAI too! |

I grew up in So. Cal in the 60s and PR&R were the house band on an afterschool TV dance party called "Where The Action Is." I watched that every single day and was madly in love with Marc. Sigh — musings from a geezer girl.

I believe "Indian Reservation" was a solo effort by their lead vocalist, Mark Lindsey. |

But I do remember the bassist was a guy named Phil Volk who went by the nickname of "Fang", only because I got his autograph after a concert that they did. OK, now that Bill has opened that Pandora's Box I guess we're about to get some Herman's Hermits, Searchers, Shades of Blue, etc.
You've got the Raiders mixed up with The Dave Clark Five. You only missed by eight time zones. |

Tremendous.
And, back in the day, the Raiders stuff just leapt out of yer AM radio. They were one of my favorites, and the stuff has held up remarkably well, IMHO.
Awesome, thanks. . . |

"Where the Action Is," yeah, that was cool! Watched it religiously. Maybe that's why I like Austin Powers so dang much.

And FYI, it was the Batman TV series starring Adam West. The movies hadn't started to be produced yet. Do you recall that it was Burgess Meredith (Grumpy Old Men) who originally played the Penguin?
And Frank Gorshin playing The Riddler and Cesar Romero playing The Joker. POW! SOCK! BIFF! |

"It's so neat to meet your baby where the action is." I totally remember them on that show, wearing full midnight-rider regalia. I also dug "Indian Reservation" a few years after that, by which time I'd developed some political sensibilities. ( Edit: His full name was Paul Revere Dick.) |

Paul Revere's actual name was Revere Dick and he grew up in Caldwell Idaho. He was friends with my dad and when my grandfather was principle of the high school, he kicked Revere Dick out of school. I remember he had a very cool car that looked like the helmet of the red baron. This is all true.

One of the first tunes I fell in love with on the radio - and it has aged very well! Imagine a group today with the same energy.
