Rare Earth on TBS
(Preview)
Hey Gang, A funny thing happened this evening. I was watching a rerun of the hit show, "My Name Is Earl." While I find the show entertaining, the funny thing is I kept thinking, this show always features classic rock and then I wondered if they ever had any Rare Earth songs on the show. They did...

A question for Terrana!!!

Hey Mr. Terrana, if I recall correctly, in Mr. Rivera's book a brief reference was made to dinner time and the great importance of that when you and your brother were kids. Being a fellow Italian, I wanted to say that where I come from, a small town near Wilkes-Barre/Scranton PA (the town is Pittston)...

How I first came to hear "ONE WORLD"
(Preview)
Hi guys, I just wanted to share this. Around 1974 I was at home, on summer vacation from school, bored out of my mind. I was about 14. I decided to get on my bike and take a trip (about 2 miles) to a local shopping center where there was a McCrorys (remember? They were what we used to call a "five and dime...

Peter-less Rare Earth

I will be the first person to say that I respect the fact that these guys are out there doing this stuff at all after all these years. I most definitely don't have that kind of energ...

Rare Earth: In Concert...a reassessment

I was tidying up my computer office and doing a little cleaning tonight and was playing In Concert at the same time. Really, it's been quite some time since I have played it from start to finish. It was refreshing. In many ways it captures the band at a peak. Though the 1971-74 era was probably a peak as wel...

RAREARTH (1977): A *rare gem* that was **very** underappreciated!
(Preview)
And I mean *every* word I say 'bout that.. Created in 1977, after all the tumult that Pete & Co. went through, the album was prodcued by James Carmichael, renowned for his work with Lionel Richie & The Commodores. Ray Monette & Mark Olson were "A.W.O.L." on this one, for reason...
