That must have been the original songwriter and keyboardist Michael Brown's replacment. He had a bit of a falling out with the other band members (see wikipedia for the details). Did you see them at Roberts Stadium or Mesker Amphitheater?

I saw them at Roberts Stadium. The keyboardist looked like a Hell's Angel-with Ben Franklin-John Lennon sunglasses, Army fatigue jacket, bushy beard, very long hair. He was described to a T in another post here. NOT the guy above. A very accomplished musician. The teenage groupies were calling him "Herbie". He wrote his name on their arms-how shocking! The other bands that night included The Electric Prunes, Keith (Hey 98.6), and the headliners were the Beach Boys without Brian Wilson.

This story is totally not true. This song was written in New York. This is one of the most well documented songs ever written. Rene was Tom Finn's (the Bassist)girlfriend.

If you would read it correctly, he sold the rights of it when he was young. Songwriters can claim a song once the original author has sold its rights. Such is the case with Finn, and, perhaps he picked up the song because he had a girlfriend named Rene. My father doesn't have any rights to it, so there you go.
I'm sorry the song ...( 2 months ago by fanfestdhl)
I'm sorry the song writer who wrote the song didn't buy rights. He wrote the song. I spoke with him yesterday and he will tell you where,why and how is was CREATED. No rights were ever purchased. It is so harmful to propagate untruths. The person who wrote this masterpiece should not have to endure this kind of thievery.
