Just curious? Were you at the Fountains of Wayne / Suicide Commandos Concert last Sunday? I was. I formulated my opinion of the Commandos from the show I saw at the State Fair. Not some myth that they are supposed to Live up to from 28 years ago. Saw Raspberries in Chicago - 2005. I also saw Raspberries back in the day: circa 1974. It was the 2nd version of the Raspberries band: Starting Over with Scott McCarl and Michael McBride. Which I prefer to the original line-up. I highly recommend the recently released: Raspberries - Live on the Sunset Strip. (Deluxe edition) A 2 CD + 1 DVD bonus of their last Concert in LA - 2005. If you've never saw the band Live? This Concert will put you there! Don In a message dated 9/2/2007 10:01:45 A.M.

Nor did I say or intend to imply that the Commando's are better then The Raspberries. I didn't even say I didn't like The Raspberries, because I do. A great deal in fact. All I was commenting on is you were critical of the Commandos sounding dated and being stuck in an era. And then you contrasted them with The Raspberries as an example of a band sounding as fresh as ever (And for what it's worth, it's not a big deal to me...it's just fine with me that you think that). I just think that they both are a product of their time and are dated in a way. Each clearly sounds and looks to be from another era. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
