'60s rocker Paul Revere dies at 76

Band Paul Revere and the Raiders known for 'Kicks,' 'Hungry,' 'Indian Reservation'

Paul Revere, leader of the 1960s rock band Paul Revere and the Raiders, died Saturday at his home in Idaho, the band's website reported. He was 76.

Revere -- whose birth name was Paul Revere Dick, according to a biography on the Internet Movie Database -- was frontman for the band that often performed in three-cornered hats and other clothing harking back to the American Revolution.
The band recorded a string of hits in the 1960s and early 1970s, including "Kicks," "Hungry" and "Indian Reservation." Revere, the band's organist, had a hyperactive effervescent stage personality and came to be known as "the madman of rock 'n' roll."

War is where the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.
