The Ides of March: World Woven

The Ides of March: World Woven.  The Ides are a local band who had a monster hit in 1968 - Vehicle.  And I read recently where my guy Jimmy Peterik's band - The Ides of March - have set some sort of all-time world record for the longest standing (existing with original members intact for consecutive years) rock and roll band in the history of - well, rock and roll.  Besides my guy Jim - the rest are Bob Bergland (Bass), Bob Bergland (Vocals), Mike Borch (Drums), Mike Borch (Vocals (Background)), Brian Christian (Engineer), Bob Destocki (Producer), Larry Millas (Bass), Larry Millas (Flute), Larry Millas (Guitar), Larry Millas (Vocals), Frank Rand (Producer), Chuck Soumar (Harmonica), Chuck Soumar (Percussion), Chuck Soumar (Vocals).  This album was a 50th bday gift to me from Fitzie.  Christopher Borrelli, Chicago Tribune reporter asked - "Are the Ides of March — who played their first show on Oct. 14, 1964, who just released their first album of new material in 37 years ("Still 19"), who are getting a street in Berwyn IL named after them on Sunday and performing in Schaumburg on Saturday — the most enduring active band in pop music history?  That all of the the acts from the rock era, roughly from Bill Haley onward, a pop group from Berwyn, with a solitary No. 2 hit from 1970 (the anthem "Vehicle"), is the oldest notable band still performing with original members?"  WXRT program director Norm Winer wondered about electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk — a surprisingly wise suggestion: Kraftwerk formed in 1970, but only one original member remains. Critic Anthony DeCurtis suggested proto-metal band Blue Cheer, which hasn't had its original lineup since 1968.
