MJ Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Eric - have you ever considered doing a second edition to your book so those of us fans who were a little late in getting here could read it? I'd be really interested! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poptopian cult member Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Yeah, same here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 And while you're doing a second edition, please include a new lengthy chapter or two on the Raspberries reunion, new live CD, etc. (and, if possible, a photo of you strangling Tony C. in LA!)....(we fans are so damn greedy!!!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Although the "Tonight!" book was more Raspberries-focused, it was somewhat of a 'Part 2.' We now need a 'Part 3.' Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspyrock Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 So JohnO -- was the "strangling Tony" event before or after the gig at Sunset Strip?? Does anybody have pics of this?Can we incorporate pics into LA area flyers to help sales?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesjc Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 The strangulation was just before the LA show, at the meet and greet. I knew the meeting of EC and TC would be an event, so was watching closely, and am one of a roomful of witnesses. No photos have surfaced yet.

JohnO Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I didn't even know who Tony C. was at the time, but still thoroughly enjoyed it!Had there been pictures of this attempted strangling readily available, it would have been great to include them in the CD booklet....if for no other reason, to raise the question -"who is this man, and why is Eric throttling him?")

marvin Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 There's a picture with Tony and the band in the "Meet & Greet" photos section. Why do I think that I saw the strangulation photo somewhere? Is it possible that Bernie or someone else posted it at one time?Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Maybe Tony has the picture.Marv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesjc Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I really don't think it exists, Marvin. I think Gene said he missed it by just a couple of seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspyrock Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I'm surprised that this generated so many posts.Maybe I'm better asking questions than stating facts!!!I've always said that "sometimes when you ask the BIG QUESTIONS, you get the BIG ANSWERS"!!

Raspyrock Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I sure someone w/ Paint Shop Pro or some other program can create a re-enactment photo!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspathens Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 The sound of a harp and and cloudy image bubble appearing over my head - Marisa Miller and Jennifer Biel standing behind Eric cheering him on. Oh, and nice duds girls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspberries4ever Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I remember seeing that photo too! It was hilarious. I know I'm not imagining it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 If a photo does exist, my lawyers are holding it till said defendent, Eric Carmen successfully completes his 4th comeback to the top of the music charts, and runs out of room to store royalty cash and gold in his underground estate vaults (Kirk and I have seen them). At that time, said defendent, Eric Carmen will be more open to a generous settlement for the brutal assault allegations depicted in this 2005 Sunset Strip incident. So, while I'm waiting for Eric's latest comeback, I will continue my chiropractic and Asian massage parlor neck and other treatments, and work on "Photoshopping" Eric into pictures as Michael Vick's pitbull trainer for my next money extortion case... That ought to get a couple of paragraphs in Bernie and Ken's "Marathon Man" sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspyrock Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I HAVE started a monster!! --- NO -- actually just putting wind in the sails!!! But I hope a picture emerges!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspathens Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Tony : I hope you haven't paid your attorneys a hefty retainer because the statute of limitations for bodily injury in California is two years. Also, don't just say "yea" to whatever the asian masseur or masseuse asks you. Be certain you understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 So Eric's comeback must be complete this October? Damn! And I don't just say "yea" to the little asian masseuse. It's more like, "YES, OH YES, OH GOD YES, RIGHT THERE..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlene Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 That was such a great show..( I mean the concert, not the strangulation , but that WAS really funny !) Can't wait to re-live it via DVD/CD !! Regarding that photo...I DO seem to remember seeing something...but I think it was just as the color was returning to Tony's face after Eric had loosened his grip !! Ahh....memories !

Early Wynn Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Tony, I hope there's a happy ending to all of this for you.I'd also like a second edition of the book...considering I missed out on the first edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
