conscientious objector who worked in a mental hospital to avoid overseas combat assignments Before Vietnam, being a conscientious objector who performed over public service was a respectable thing to do.

One of my favorite bands from way back when - they would play at dance halls around the Puget Sound area. Used to watch them on Lloyd Thaxton and “Where the Action is” after school. They also did a great version of “Louie Louie”.

There was a local band (Portland OR) that was like the AAA minor league band from which The Raiders got new/replacement members (such as Jim Vallet aka “Fang”)
They were called Don and the Goodtimes and wore uniforms similarly (three cornered hats) as well.
I recall many night (as a 14 year old) standing up by the stage at the local Sons of Norway Club dance floor listening to them. Which might explain why I can’t listen to much now (am age 62) !!

I never cared for this group or for the hippies of the 60's. They aided the undermining of our effort in what was otherwise a very winnable war in Vietnam. The anti-American lyrics of their semi-hit, "Indian Reservation" (although written by John Loudermilk) is yet another reason why I shun most of the music of this entire era:
Took away our native tongue,
And taught their English to our young...
Though I wear a shirt and tie,
I'm still part red man deep inside.
...as if learning English is a
bad thing! And why be a "red man" when you can be an
American.

For some reason, I always conflate the Raiders and the Monkees in my mind. Don’t know why.....

That’s a great video of “Kicks,” which is just about my favorite Paul Revere & the Raiders tune. I assume that the song is about a cat.

Lloyd Thaxton..
He used to put on these giant fake feet and lip sync to Robert Parker's "Barefootin'".
Youth is wasted on the young.

You can hear John Loudermilk's original recording of "Lament of the Cherokee Nation," aka "Indian Reservation,"
here. In the summer of 1971, while Paul Revere & the Raiders' version rode high in the charts, this got some airplay on KREL, broadcasting out of Corona, Calif. at 1370 kilocycles on the AM band.

Remember watching ‘Where the Action Is” very well. Even liked Freddy Boom-Boom Cannon. Also remember watching Hootenany and another similar show prior to that time. Used to have the Raider’s Greatest Hits Album.
To: Reaganite Republican
Just to keep the record straight: Indian Reservation was not released by Paul Revere & the Raiders. By that time, the group was simply called The Raiders. Mark Lindsay was still singing lead for the group although he had a simultaneous solo career.

Paul Revere and a handful of “new” Raiders played at Decatur, IL Days around 7 or 8 years ago. They were good, but I have to tell you Paul looked more like Ben Franklin.
Last I knew they were still doing a hundred or more shows a years, but don’t know.
Mark Lindsey played in Columbus, GA here last year in an Oldie’s Show.

I remember Don & The Goodtimes. In fact, I have their vinyl album. They had a minor hit with "I Could Be So Good To You."

I saw this band in person in 1966 and noticed how clumsy the lead singer, Mark Linday, was. The man had no grace in his movements on stage, none at all. The voice was pretty mediocre, too.
