They're Going To Keep On Lovin' You: Hey Internet! How About Some REO Speedwagon?

Hey Internet! How About Some REO Speedwagon?

While the blogs were all abuzz about Frightened Rabbit, REO Speedwagon released a new single, "Find Your Own Way Home," and after a solid first month it's still hanging around the playlists of Adult Contemporary stations across America.

@BawstonSean: I have little desire to listen to GWAR, but they are an excellent act to have do in-store signings.

I would pay to have all of my REO Speedwagon-related memories replaced with Cut Copy-related memories. And I don't even like Cut Copy.

I was 10 when HIGH INFIDELITY was all the rage at NATIONAL RECORD MART. My parents wouldnt let me buy it because there was a girl in a bikini top on the cover and the word INFIDELITY was in the title...

Its a good thing that SMELL THE GLOVE was just an all back cover...

My how things have changed...

Damn but I liked me some REO back in the day. The concert where they did You Get What You Play For in it's entirely was a highlight of my stupid-kid life growing up in Minnesota.
