Moms hanging clothes on the line, kids are playing all through the neighborhood, as me and my buddies are pushing our bicycles up to the arcade, a 1979 Z28 T-Top camaro slowly rolls by with this song screaming from some pioneer 6x9s and the sweet smell of Mary Jane rolling out the windows, There will never be another time like living in the 70s and 80s.

      Not to be argumentative.. b'c I agree with you about today's music sucking!! It sucks. So.... so bad. But it isn't a dearth of talent. The talent is everywhere. It's the garbage-dump crap music that we are programming the youngsters with now, and the garbage that main-stream media and society is pushing now. The younger ones don't have a clue about how it used to be - and how we waited for this incredible music to come out. Man... we loved it. We lived it. It's so sad now, to see where it has all gone. I hope the good stuff will come back. REO was, and still is, such an awesome band, with great songs that live forever!

    Being from the Midwest (the Illinois side of St.Louis), fortunate to have seen REO 18 times. You ALWAYS get what you paid for with this band.
    They absolutely do not disappoint!!!!!!
    I've got to meet them, and once on my birthday w/ autograph CD.
    I'm currently making my new song lists. Tryin to just pick 3 from each band/artists. NOT WITH REO!!!
    1)Back on the road again
    2)Don't Let Him Go
    3)Only the Strong Survive
    4)Keep Pushin'
    5)Time for Me to Fly
    6)Wish You Were Here
    7)Say You Love Me
    So far, I've only just started!!!😜🤪😁😊😁😄😃😀

    My son just had his wedding and this is the song he picked for our dance, because it’s been my favorite song since college!

    I just can't get enough of this song and "Take It On The Run". They're 2 of my most favorite songs of all time! I have SO been there in the situations of both songs!

      Tough Guys from Hi Infidelity is one of the best songs Kevin Cronin ever wrote.

    When singers could sing and there was expression, long before auto tune took the soul out of music.
