Wow, another year gone by. Here's to you, Eric. By the way, if you could have been in L.A. last weekend, maybe you could have played for 93,000 people at The Coliseum. I know you and the Raspberries played there before. Speaking some Spanish would have helped, too. Talk about getting noticed, I figure that one to 10 million people watched on cable T.V. and overseas. I think that if your CD's were at these events, people would definitely want to hear you or The Raspberries, in the future. -Yes, soccer is quite a popular sport. This is the best birthday gift that I could think of for you. Think sports, and you have an audience. Why not put-up one of your video-taped songs with The Raspberries for live T.V.?

Two separate soccer games were played by four teams. The big turnout was because of Spain's Barcelona team. They still hold the highest sport merchandising sales for any sports team in the world.(Around 182 million dollars, last year. Second was 166 million, for England's Manchester team).
