Paul Revere and the Raiders often looked liked Revolutionary War marionettes with their costumes and kicking movements. But on this video of the song Hungry from one of their seemingly 10,039,113 television appearances in the mid-1960s, Revere, the keyboardist, and lead singer Mark Lindsay were puppet masters themselves. Well, of hand puppets, anyway. Lindsay's was some indeterminate creature that seemed to be a homage to band member "Fang" Volk. As for Revere's...
Yeah, long before the Sesame Street days, Kermit was used in service of cheesy puppet warfare.
Oh, and a postscript from yesterday: the lead singer for American Breed ended up being a Grammy-nominated engineer and one of studio forces behind Styx. Damning with faint praise? That's up to you to decide.
