Never thought of it like that but your point is well documented. Meanwhile the "Beautiful People" were cranking out Disco. Disco was necessary, if I still drank, I'd write a slurred thesis about it. Oh Skittles.

I am 99% sure that's the only video they ever made so probably not

I don't know who that is in the first picture.

Edit, had to copy the file name and do a search. I should have known. It could have been Kansas or Chicago for all i know.

There's a hilarious comment on YouTube about that Ram Jam video that says, "The lead singer is what Mountain Dew would look like if it was person."

I think they were ushering in Meth and Bourbon before all the cool kids were doing it.

And can you believe I had to screen capture this from a video as the basic schenker shots i find are either lame or when hes an old man with turkey waddle arms.

There's actually quite a few interesting threads and theories about this video out there. Both about whether or not the people in the video were actually the ones who played the recorded version of the song ( other than the lead singer/guitarist ) and plenty of fun conspiracies. There's also several threads over on MLP and TGP about the Les Paul the guy is playing - it has a very odd combination of parts and is theorized to possibly be a re-necked guitar from different eras. If you look close it also has a set of gibson embossed pickups, which were only made for about 2 years in the early 70's.

Bottom line it's certainly a cult classic, I get a kick out of all the characters in the video in some way.

and that was my problem with me knowing who it is. I completely forgot who belongs to this board and everyone knows it. Most other people in the World have no idea what a Ram Jam is, at least my corner of the World.

Actually, what is really needed is for those old enough to post pics of yourself in the 70s. I think that would be even more amusing...

1976. High School literary magazine staff. I'm the guy with the hat. The white guy.

1979. I'm the guy. The last time that I saw the low side of 140 lbs. Might be the last photo ever taken of me without me wearing a black t-shirt or beard.

I'm trying to read what's on your shirt in the 2nd pic. Is it Charlie Daniels Band?
