Sad part is my cousins just got paid a lump sum and the record went on to sell millions.

Same boat. Pot made me throw up. Didn't like the high either. Wasn't much of one before I went to speak to Ralph on the big white telephone.

Beer, vodka? Red wine? Tequila? Not a problem. The Irish in me comes to the fore.

Didn't try any of the other stuff. Instead became a designated driver for people on acid. Was quite entertaining.

I don't think the band wound up with too much either, considering the contracts of the time. The Outsiders did three albums, but Time was the only hit. Superb material.

Session men, which your cousins were likely considered, at least got paid for their work. Usually the actual writers and band performers got butkis in comparison.

At least The Outsiders were signed to Capitol, instead of Epic, like their contemporaries The Remains. Now that's a Boston disaster if I ever read one.

I think you are right about no one in the band making a whole lot of money besides Sonny Geraci. The flip side 'Precisous and Few' was also a hit.

The last I remember(the college dorms) from pot is "Holy @!@@, your eyes are glass". Somehow "Cops" came up, and I got real uneasy..and it showed. I remember "Police" was said(by another student) and I was scared to death. The stuff wasn't fun, and I don't miss it.

The Irish in me comes to the fore.

Same here, although I'm not a tequila guy unless I have to. (Spirit of the deer or turkey)

Instead became a designated driver for people on acid. Was quite entertaining.

LOL. I've done that. Unwillingly actually. On the last day of high school, the cops broke up the field party....right after I got there. I had the least to drink and I drove there(planned on crashing in a tent).

OMG I've loved Prince since the early 80's. He was and still is the bomb IMO. His later stuff wasn't as good to me, but I still love him. My mom grew up in Chan, where he lives now. His purple mansion was right around the corner from my grandparents house but I never have had the chance to see it yet. Didya know that he plays over 20 instruments and his nickname is Skip ? LOL, Prince Rogers Nelson trivia.

That's a hell of a non sequitur you've got going there, Dan!

WFMU is the alternative station in New Jersey. They run a record fair, selling used records and CDs (and other related items) twice a year in Manhattan. Unfortunately, I was such a total lame-o that I forgot that it was last week!

I've a few of their tracks on compilations. Sonny is making mo money now that Time wound up on Nuggets.

He's lucky though. A lot of his contemporaries signed never-never publishing contracts. I know of someone very famous who only got 50 bucks for his string of hits. I can't say his name, but believe me it is true.

Sonny cashed in after the Outsiders, he was big during the late 60's and 70's and made some money touring.

Oh man, people used to drop acid and come over to my apartment to goof on my riffs with my then-roommate. I mean we'd sit around, talk in a non-linear manner and just spin records (this early 1980s).

This is Austin! There were a hundred things these guys could go be tripping at but noooo, they decided to trip on me!

I missed my calling. I should have been a guru.

More like a radioactive wasteland, though I have to be careful considering Bush might actually win that state and therefore have to be really nice to those people.
