Dino was away ahead of other drums back in those days, he really "ROCKED"

I actually know Dino on a personal level. I'm dating his step-daughter and I also work for him. After his music career he followed a very strong hobby of his, Metal Polishing/Motorcycles. Hes been my boss for awhile. I talk to him alot. He still plays drums, and still talks about The Rascals and how much fun it was playing with them. He lives about a 10 minute walk from my house. His birthday was yesterday. Me and my Girlfriend made him a cake.

Why does Felix hate the others? and why haven't these guys reunited - there's got to be a good market for them touring - it seems crazy!

Well, you know what they say about opinions...yours stinks just as bad as anybody else's and I don't necessarily like looking at it, so fuck off, douchebag!

I'm a "baby boomer" and I wouldn't go THAT far. They were another band among many bands at that time with a few good songs. But, that's about it. They are NOT the image of the 60s for if that be true, they'd be an image of violence, hate, war, destruction, disallusionment. If you notice their later tunes, they were tunes that gravitated towards peace, love, understanding ... that "hippie" stuff, you know? America's band? LOL ... I heard that was the Beach Boys.

I think every baby boomer in America should pay The Rascals 10% of their yearly salary to give them back what they deserve. They ARE the image of the 60's and what it represented. America's band...

In the love dino's drumming club. Another point, not only did he rock...that boy swung...rockers might not understand that term..Jazzers know exactly what i mean

Great song

Fantastic. Love the clip. The Rascals were the greatest American band in the 60's. Sure the Beach Boys and the 4 Seasons were fantastic but for pure music and a tight sound the Rascal were it! Dino's drumming was second to none. His timing was perfect and he always looked so cool. Felix was a master.His Hammond B-3 sound was so soulful and made the music sound so full; Gene was an accomplished guitarist who blended perfectly with Dino and Felix. Eddie's voice was so melodic and soulfull.

THUMBS UP if you heard this song in the flipped movie trailer!

this dude sings so good, even live perfect listen!



Interesting how Dino still talks about The Rascals when except for last week and about a few times since '72 they've played together. They sold their publishing 35 +years ago and lost millions doing so. It crucified the band. Felix hates the others: big time. He could be in a 22 room mansion on his share alone. Dino & Gene get rare gigs as The New Rascals. Felix is all over the place.

The Monkees met a similar fate by signing their rights away as kids with no legal advice. They were star struck and went for the white hot spotlights on their signatures on the contract. Made a salary of approx $400/week, no residuals and a no compete clause with COLGEMS music to never be able to use "The Monkees" name....forever. Davey Jones lives on Florida's Treasure Coast raising and caring for thorobreds.
