Rain, the Beatles Tribute band
Still trying to beat that lousy cold. I am not completely over it. Last night we saw Rain, a Beatles tribute band at Town Hall on West 43rd Street. Since it is not possibile to see the Beatles in concert, seeing a tribute band is the next best thing. Their web site is: http://www.raintribute.com. They played Beatles songs from all eras of the groups history. I saw the Broadway show Beatlemania back in 1979. I saw other Beatles tributes bands in 1980 at Queens College and in 1995 at a high school on Long Island.

I've seen another Beatles tribute band, The Mop Tops, in Laughlin, NV. They were cute and worth the $15.00 admission but there is a certain mentality that pervades the auditorium at a tribute band's performance: kind of like "We're going to pretend we're the Beatles and you pretend to love us, okay?"
Know what I mean?
I wish I was around for the 60's. As a student of rock n' roll, I consider this the golden decade.
(hope you are over that cold by the time you read this)
