Craig Benfer Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I'm 40 now, but have been enjoying Eric music since his release of All By Myself. I really went off the deep end in 1980 when I purchased the Best Of The Raspberries and finally realized that Eric was in that group. That's when my quest started to collect everything I could by Eric. The Starting Over album eluded me for quite a long time. When I finally did find it, it was still shrink wrapped.

darlene Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I'm never going to feel any older than I was the first time I heard I Wanna Be With You. But if someone my age doesn't join this website soon, I'm gonna feel like *I'm* shrink-wrapped. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlene Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Darlene, You're so funny. It's quite apparent that you will ALWAYS be young at heart !! Marlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Darlene I think that it's totally 'normal' to see the fans of an artist being younger than or around the age of the artist. Today there are bunch of artists that I listen to that I am older than, but in the 1970's when I was a teenager, everyone that I listened to was naturally older than me. So when a fan like yourself pops up, who is actually older than the artist, now that's an interesting story! This means that during the 'berries' heyday, you were not one of those screaming teenage girls (according to "Hit Parader" and "Circus" magazines), but you were actually one of the more mature fans who appreciated the band for more than their appearances.Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Yes...Or she might have just been immature for her age. My wife is 30, but often acts like she is 16...Doh!Sometimes I feel like that referee on that Super Bowl commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Marv, I was 24 when I first heard the Berries on the radio. The music just knocked my socks off! I didn't care WHAT they looked like--I just couldn't believe anyone in rock could be so talented--I was very very narrowly into classical music, and the classical influence came through so strongly I was bowled over! Still am... --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoAnne Marie Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Aw man, I was 13 years old! I really thought that I had the chance to meet Eric Carmen and the Raspberries, at the time. Inexperienced me, at the time. Today I know better now. I am not the yougest but I know better now, that if I made up my mind I could meet Eric Carmen now, if I chose.

mymooladi Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Darlene, think how lucky you are to be at this age. You were able to go to many concerts while most of the younger fans did not have that advantage. So you definitely had the advantage here. I have envied you that. Lucky you!
