REO Speedwagon hasn't been relevant in 40 years.

You take it on the arm baby
If that’s the way you want it baby
Then I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it
Not for a minute
You’re under the gun
So you take it on the arm

I'm going to see Eric when he's in Fort Worth in September. Will probably go solo, and that's ok, too.

I get it, my family doesn't like my music. My wife said the worst concert she ever attended was Spyrogyra, and it was always one of my favorites. Due to a change in venue in El Paso, I was moved up to the front row...it was awesome.

REO was done when Richrath was kicked out of the band.

This!

Man, he was a great guitar player back in the day. Cronin wanted to write crappy love songs and after Richrath was fired, they never had another hit again.

If he caught it and was vaxed and is uncomfortable enough not to perform then he owes it to his fans to cancel gigs until rates drop.

It is irresponsible to stage these shows if the vaxed are at risk of bad cases (such as he has).

I always think of the scene in Billy Madison where he comes to the high school in an REO Speedwagon T-shirt and they all look at him funny.

The talking point is that the vaxx is now a prophylactic that will lessen symptoms thus it is not a vaccination. Trump told America and the world what simply could have been done with cheap SAFE and EFFECTIVE remedies.

Oh yeah, a washed up pot smoking ‘80s band is where I loom for medical advise.

The antibody test is available at any labcorp location for 10.00. I had my results the next day.

He is almost 70. His choice. But I wonder what the attraction is with going to concerts put on by elderly rockers. When is the last time any of these oldsters put out a hit?

Clapton is 75. I saw him for the first time about 2 years ago at the Crossroads Guitar Festival. He had cameo appearances with several artists, and his finale was excellent.

I'll be seeing him when he plays in Fort Worth in September.

He absolutely was. Cronin (IMHO) couldn't deal with Gary always being more talented than him. Yes, Gary had addiction problems but I can't recall a time he couldn't play because of it. Cronin decided it was time for everyone to get clean and used that as an excuse to boot Gary from the band. They were never the same.

I don’t have a problem with his statement. I just marvel at how everyone now preaches how the un-vaccinated will get it and will be in terrible pain or die.

That's the title of a Partridge Family song. I can't believe I remembered that...

But their opinion about COVID is as relevant as Kevin Cronin's...
