Sad thought for the 4th of July: Paul Revere will not be with us.

The leader of that All-American band, Paul Revere And The Raiders , will miss the most American of holidays.

And yet.  There are memories of 50 plus years of the “The Last Mad Man of Rock and Roll“.

On “Where The Action Is”.

And countless prime-time guest appearances, including “The Brothers Smothers Comedy Hour”.

Or even Paul and the Raiders’ annual trips of the Epcot’s Flower Power Concert Series.

When Paul passed away last October, a fan wrote a letter that was published on the band’s website. In part it read:

“The world will be a lot less fun, a lot less kind and gentle without Paul Revere in it”.

Amen. Until we pull out the CD or Vinyl….AND PLAY IT LOUD!
