RedCaps desperately NEED all that Sly/Rocky/Rambo make-believe
sh!t because EVEN THEY KNOW he’s a pathetic human being.
They would rather keep swallowing comforting lies that accept hard truths bcuz THEY KNOW he’s an abject failure, and it’s just too much for them to accept…

Redcaps. Are you going to buy the book?
Just give a straight answer.

You obviously do - look how much time you spent arguing about it with others and myself ... hell I didn't know the product was out until you started posting ... look at you being a marketing source for them.

This week, we're getting to know the four real-life members of Toomorrow, the band. Today, our focus is the master of "The Tonalizer," Vic Cooper.
Unlike Benny Thomas (see yesterday's post), Vic's life was all music, all of the time, and it's reasonable to say that Vic leant a hand for some truly seminal UK Rock & Roll moments. Vic was a member of The Redcaps, the backing band on a 1961 single ("Sitting In a Train" / "The One I Like") by singer Cuddly Dudley, who is now known as "Britain's first Black Rock & Roller!"
Vic's bandmates then became The Squires, backing up Tom Jones in the mid-'60s, before joining another iconic UK Rock & Roll singer, becoming Johnny Kidd & The Pirates. If you know Johnny Kidd, it's probably from his enduring hit, "Shakin' All Over," and for Kidd's propensity to wear an eyepatch and swing a cutlass around on stage, an influence on everyone from Paul Revere & The Raiders to Alice Cooper.
The Pirates were originally a guitar-driven rockabilly unit, but Cooper adds his funky, fleet-fingered organ to the band's later recordings, just as Kidd starting moving in a more R&B direction, including a cover of Smokey Robinson's "Shop Around."
Sadly, Kidd was one of Rock's early casualties, dying in a car crash in 1966.
By the time Vic Cooper arrived in for his audition in Toomorrow, he'd done plenty of session work, but nothing in his discography indicates a taste for synths and whiz-bang electronics. In the film, Vic plays his shy "aw shucks"-iness as a counterpoint to Benny Thomas's perpetual horny swagger - if we're comparing Toomorrow to The Monkees, Vic is definitely the Peter Tork of the group. And yet, it's Vic and his Tonalizer skills that bring the Alphoids to London in search of "curative vibrations...a new form of electronic harmony." On behalf of the developed universe, we'd like to thank Vic Cooper for his contributions to intergalactic good vibes!
To(o)morrow, we'll learn about prolific session drummer Karl Chambers as we make our way toward Queen Olivia on Friday!

Just because something is antisemitic doesn't make it false.
Jews are real. They exist. We aren't talking about redcaps and bog monsters.

The archives are full of gems like this - written advice to Ministers recommending that an RMP close protection team be awarded medals for their bravery.
Full PSL thread to follow about an event, now forgotten, that demonstrates the raw courage of the Redcaps.

Ronnie James Dio, singer with Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath and his own band Dio died after a six-month battle with stomach cancer. He was 67 years old. Dio’s career began in 1957 with The Vegas Kings, which later changed to Ronnie and the Rumblers, then Ronnie and the Redcaps, then in 1961, Ronnie Dio and the Prophets. In 1967, Dio and Prophets guitarist Nick Pantas formed the Electric Elves, which shortened its name to Elf. The band’s success eventually landed them an opening slot for Deep Purple which exposed Dio’s voice to Deep Purple’s guitarist, Ritchie Blackmore, who later recruited Dio and other members of Elf for his new band Rainbow.
