Tony Cartmill Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 And if it all goes well, more shows, DVD, Industry buzz, backing for a new CD, new songs... We may get our wish from "Mr Mom" afterall. Thanks James, I like your common sense as well.You must see the movie "Team America, World Police" for some sick but side splitting comedy that is also politically smart. The music pardodies and lyrics are genius! Stone and Parker are improving with age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostControl Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Tony, I loved the post when you wrote it back in 2002, and I stil love it today! You are the master Tony!That being said, I think you're right. My thoughts on the matter have changed a lot since 2002, when I too was a stay at home mom. Now that I work 2 part time jobs (Out of necessity, not because I wanted to get away from my toddler), I find that I love being at work, and it makes me a better mom. Because I only work part-time (working full time would be another matter), I still spend 4 days a week at home with my son (2 weekdays and the weekend). When I was with him all the time, I didn't appreciate the time I did spend with him, and I resented being at home with him all day when my husband was out with adults. Now I have both worlds, and I love coming home every day and sharing my day with him. My son isn't in daycare - his father is home with him when I'm not home - and their relationship has strengthened tremendously. Now that Eric's kids are in school, it's time to stop making excuses and get out there and make a new album! You can see by the interest in the Raspberries reunion that there is a market out there for your music. Now get out there and do it! Songs like "Devil and the deep blue sea" and "Never say die" are too good to not be put on an album for all to enjoy! No more excuses. We want music!!!

JCraft Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Since some of us "have nots" won't be at the show, I feel even more compelled to echo the thoughts of one of our earlier compadres---GIVE US SOME NEW STUF!!!OK==OK--maybe I'm a little bitter---maybe I am redirecting a little anger, but---golfers golf---writers write--singers sing---great artist never walk away from the gift given them. Eric has shown that an almost independently produced album can at least break even. If the problem is that he wants control and to release his work--his way, there have never been as many venues available. Since he is not in financial need (this is my assumption)he could do it purely for the art.And if that doesn't work-----He could do it for Benji---my son who found this site for me years ago and shares my passion for Eric and the rest of the 'berries music---he leaves for deployment to Iraq friday---one of his joys will be checking this site---sorry, just kinda needed to get that out----he's ticked at missing the reunion too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 Wow JCraft! Perhaps we can get the boys to dedicate a song during the concert for Benji. There are not too many people that age that are Raspberries fans unless they are children of fanatics from this board. What song would he like sung for him?And why did you name your kid after a dog?
