LISAMARIE Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Hello Eric:I was wondering if by any chance you'll be touring in the near future. As I posted in my intro to everyone, I'd LOVE to hear "Make Me Lose Control" live one day, if possible, as whenever they play the CD at work with that song on it I sing and dance to it and crack everyone up--LOL!

Randy Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I don't pretend to be an expert in the matter, but I think if you were planning on seeing Eric , the chance was 4-5 years ago , during the Raspberries Reunion tour. I know the saying "never say never", but If I had an extra $1000, I'd bet against seeing him or the Raspberries again, excpet a show here and there, like at the Rock n' Roll HOF. As days pass into weeks and months turn into years, I can't see them doing a series of shows at age 70. Eric probably doesn't have the zeal for a solo tour that he once had. That's not a knock on him, but probably just the truth of the matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LISAMARIE Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 Yes you have a point there, and I've thought kind of the same thing, as I know Eric is getting older and all. Maybe if he should do a solo/one-time appearance at a HOB or something sometime I'll be able to catch that, even if I have to travel--may happen and it may not. Thanks Randy.

Wendy-Ann Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I like to be an optimist about getting older. For me, I think my best is yet to come. I like being the 47 year old woman that I am now more than the “girl†I once was. (Except for the parts that need a little botox and restylane, but you know what I mean.) Always remember that just because a person ages, doesn’t mean they’re an old horse ready for pasture. Some people are natural - Stallions! At age 60: Playwright and essayist George Bernard Shaw completed a play, "Heartbreak House," regarded by some as his masterpiece. At age 61: Physician, author and running enthusiast George Sheehan ran his fastest Boston marathon ever. At age 65: Jazz musician Miles Davis defiantly performed his final live album, weeks before he died. At age 67: Paul McCartney is currently on tour. At age 70: Benjamin Franklin helped draft the Declaration of Independence. Judy Brenner, who had recently run the Boston Marathon, chased a teenage shoplifter 100 feet and helped hold him until police arrived. At age 75: Cancer survivor Barbara Hillary became one of the oldest people to reach the north pole. At age 80: Jessica Tandy became the oldest Oscar recipient for her work in Driving Miss Daisy. Sir George Martin (along with his son Giles) co-produced the Beatles' album "Love," the soundtrack to a Cirque du Soleil play. At age 85: "Coco" Chanel was the head of a fashion design firm. Theodor Mommsen became the oldest person to receive a Nobel Prize in Literature. Presidents 60 years old and older: John Adams Andrew Jackson William Henry Harrison Zachary Taylor James Buchanan Harry S. Truman Dwight D. Eisenhower Gerald Ford Ronald Reagan George H. W. Bush Age isn't always a factor of what one does or doesn't do. The above are a few examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LISAMARIE Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 HEY those are all good points/examples, Wendy! I didn't realize those people were that old during their "primes", and I love some of George Bernard Shaw's quotes. Love your optimism!

Sherberries Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Wendy, I like your attitude about getting older. Lisamarie, I'm not giving up hope for more Raspberries shows, yet! One can always hope! Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulie Mississippi Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Y'know... EC and Wally and Jim and Dave... FLORIDA is the place that old people like to come and spend the winter months... Snowbirds we call them... but if you guys got the "bug"... or tired of living in the Frozen Tundra over the winter... you could perform a concert or two here to make the trip worthwhile... We have a couple of nice venues in Daytona Beach... Orlando is just 60 miles or so away... and then you could write off the "vacation"!

Art Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 At one time Eric was very close to giving a solo concert in Severance Hall. Wonder if that one is still under consideration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missm Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Wendy (as usual) you are so eloquent and right on the money in your statement about one's "prime". Maybe he will or maybe he won't tour, but that decision is up to Eric alone and may be made on his desire to go on the road again. Only Eric can say what he will do. As only Lisa Marie can express what she would like Eric to do. (Wendy - leave that last sentence alone! I know where it can and SHOULD NOT go.) Being a woman is always better than being a "girl"! Just think of all of the woman's knowledge you have gained!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LISAMARIE Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Ummm....I just asked if there were any plans to tour/make any appearances by chance; if so great and if not I'll live. Not asking Eric to "do" anything. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecstasy Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 LisaMarie, this is just the way the board 'talks' to each other. We ramble and go in different directions, converge temporarily, and then are off and running in different directions again. At the moment the only answer to your question is that nobody knows anything. But then again, that could be said at any given time about any given topic with this crowd!

Wendy-Ann Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 WORD! What Kathy Lee said. Feel free to jump in at any time on any post and just start babbling. Perhaps even change the subject. That's what I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggsherby Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Yeah, whatever happened to that Severance Hall show?Rumor has it that Eric is in negotiations to take over the London venue in place of Michael Jackson for the 50 shows... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LISAMARIE Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 I kind of gathered that but was just checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Nobody should count on Eric "being too old"....he's in good shape...I think works out....still creative...He'd do a great show!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlene Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 It would be a FABULOUS show !! Never, ever, ever, ever give up hope ! (Sometimes I just get a feeling....ya know ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy-Ann Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 And Marlene, if this should happen you know I will travel to the ends of the earth for you and I to once again reunite. And this time, we shall partake in some of my self-proclaimed "world famous jell-o shots." They always get a party started! These are not my jello shots, but I liked the photo. Also, I'm not accountable for what I say or do after a few of these. So let's just clarify that right now then I can reference this at a later date.

darlene Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 If you're gonna hear it anywhere, you'll hear it here first! I hope another show (EC or Raspberries) will be in the making soon. --D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bessieboo Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I'm ready for another show ! I don't care where it is, I travel well. But, No jello shots for me they are so pretty and cool and go down so easily - too dangerous for me. There's always room for jello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HT from Mo Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I'm ready! 18 months is too long! I would have loved to see the RRHOF show! Would a "do over" be too much to ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy-Ann Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Oh and cupcakes, Marlene. ...and Doritos. Seriously...you can't do J-shooters and not have Doritos to stuff your face with. But I buy those. Gosh those 3 cups of coffee were really good this morning! I think I'll mow a few of the neighbors lawns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonecimar Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Would LOVE to catch a live performance.... of course first and foremost to witness "the master" perform in person (and perhaps have the chance to meet him) but also to meet some of the great people that post here. Jello shots and cupcakes??? Both are good separately, not sure about together!!! I will be in charge of bringing the frozen drinks (marguaritas.... zombies???).
