Oops, of course you're correct.
Yes, Paul and the Raiders were a fun show for many years after that. Paul was my friend and a business partner along with Dick Clark in the Reno American Bandstand. I mourned Paul’s passing.
See my tag line.
Problem is not all immigrants, it is LOW QUALITY immigrants made possible by CHAIN MIGRATION laws which allow any relative of any US resident to come in LEGALLY. Only about 5%-7% of legal immigrants actually bring high skills or high wealth with them.
I knew about Mark Lindsay but I never heard about “Paul”. I thought that was just part of their band name. I was at University of Washington in ‘66-’67 in Seattle where they came from - very popular up there.
Were you involved in their shows? They might have been the best showmen I had ever seen, all decked out, Lindsay romping around, sometimes jumping on top of their huge amps
No, I wasn't involved in their shows. We were business partners along with Dick Clark in the Reno American Bandstand nightclub in the 90's. I didn't know Paul until the manager (my friend) of Bill Medley's nightclub "The Hop" in SoCal introduced us at one of Paul's big concerts. That manager/friend built, managed, administered American Bandstand. It was an amazing experience. I still have the mementos on my wall in the garage.
After Lindsay left and not having any more hits, while playing through the decades they certainly earned the name, "Madmen of Rock". Their shows were hilarious and SO entertaining. Paul was the comedian and came into his own in the later years. He was a courteous good guy and loved his fans - and they adored him. I miss him to this day.
ACK! My eyes, my eyes.
I’ve always had a thing for Southern Belles, even with their big hair which some still have today. Something about their confidence, femininity, sexuality, and take no prisoners attitude. Oops, was that a micro or macro aggression?
I could have sworn the guy playing the keyboards was the guy jumping around on the amplifiers on stage. I don’t know, maybe that was Paul. What was Paul’s last name?
Made me recall Paul Revere & The Raiders' 60s hit "Indian Reservation" that was my favorite of theirs, so having not heard it for a billion or two years, I went to youtube and found it at https://youtu.be/21ixwIaN7qw
However, also came across another version that might peak your interest: "Indian Reservation" by Orlando Riva Sound that, to coin a phrase, blew my socks off!
If you click the link and view it, it should do the same... 
unless you are dead, that is
Funny thing, they are not an American band, for it appears they are German. The shy Native American lass is named Sophia Reaney and below is a snapshot of her in all her tribal glory:
Gadzooks, music fans-- That's make your day... 
won't it?
Seems to me that Mr. Eberling “borrowed” a great deal of Milton Freedman’s work for this article.
Where are my nitro pills?
Another small fact: Out of all the entertainers that Dick Clark new, Paul and Dick were best buds. While Dick had 3 other American Bandstand nightclubs around the country, they had an agreement that Paul had first right of refusal for a AB in Reno where he had his original Kicks nightclub.
Great times. Imagine being an owner in American Bandstand and the perks. However, I never took advantage of them, other than the bartenders looking at me first for a drink. I tipped then really well. Often times I would visit and go to the head of the line figuring the doorman knew me. AB, like many clubs changed out doormen and I was shown the end of the line. I would politely ask the newbie to contact our manager and then the doorman would get so apologetic I felt bad for him. Still, I thanked him for doing his job. It was all beyond cool.
Side note: Just months back I had a meeting with the above manager and Paul's previous partner in the AB about a new club. Everyone was really excited about my concept called, ACCESS BACKSTAGE (I own the trademark). However, nightclubs are not at the top of list for venture capital nor individual investors. Still working on it. If you want to know the concept, just ask on Freepmail.
Sorry for late reply. Don't always read my "posts to you".
phonies...every one of them..
Great story. How did you get to be a Navy Vet with all this entertainment impresario stuff?
Sure, Freepmail me the concept of your ACCESS BACKSTAGE.
Either you’re not like me where “Posts To You” are like “You’ve Got Mail” with me reacting like Pavlov’s dog, or you get too many “Posts To You” to get to right away.
It’s really simple and clear; big government and loss of freedom or self government and freedom OR put another way today’s Liberalism/Statism vs. Conservatism/Libertarianism
Another unintended consequence of big government is high taxes and low wage growth forcing mom into the workplace and the family breakdown as unsupervised kids went astray.
I was Aviation Navy from 1975 - 1987. I was gonna do at least 20 years, but my Rating (MOS to Army) was closing up which meant years before I made Chief, even though I was just one pay grade down (E-6). I got an offer to manage a large warehouse and accepted it when my enlistment was up.
Just happened to connect with the right people in the early 90's and the rest is fun history.
Sorry, I don't read my FReepmail because most are people pinging me to their particular political concerns that can be addressed on the FR board.
Unless you can help with club design (I've fleshed out the basics) or financing, ACCESS BACKSTAGE is on hold for now. Maybe I'll explain the concept in Freepmail anyway. I like to brag...haha. Everyone I've mentioned it to gets excited and asks when we would be opening.
