ok, try this one: Carefree Sugarless Gum Contest

[augidog]

in the 70's, Care Free Gum held promo contests for high-schools around the country. the prize was a concert, in YOUR gymnasium, featuring the raspberries and another group.

my school, cheney tech. HS in manchester, ct. won a concert with the raspberries and rick springfield.

anyone else a winner? anyone else even remember it?
...did it really happen? ooh, now my head hurts...

I am amazed, to this day, that my school allowed the Raspberries to sing about "go[ing] all the way" to our class. There we were, just entering high school in the fall of '73, and our school was having folks sing to us about full fledged sex at age 13?:eek:

Go figure.

Anyway, Clarkstown South in Rockland New York was the locale. As I recall, the groups were Raspberries and Grass Roots.
