RE: [bomp] Revere and Raiders comin' to town?

["superchimp9@xxxxxxxxxxx m" <superchimp9@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I used to live in Portland and saw both ML and PRR quite a bit. Mark Lindsay 
wins by a landslide.  The current Paul Revere and the Raiders reminds me of 
a band you would see at Disney World, led by and aged combination of Captain 
Crunch and Captain Kangaroo (that would be Paul).  His band has gone to more 
of a 80s pirate look, with styled mullets, goatees, and black spandex tights 
tucked into their black boots.  The music is extremely sterile versions of 
all the old favorites and takes a back seat to Paul Revere's "comedy" which 
reminds me of a bad Rip Taylor rip-off.
Mark Lindsay can be just a tiny bit cheesy sometimes, but as far as "oldies 
acts" go, he still delivers the goods vocally and seems to get backing bands 
that sort of "get it".
