Hugs to you too.
Thanks Pajamajan ((((Hugs)))
That one was definitely Kevin Cronin, and was part of the internal battle over musical direction between him and Gary Richrath. (It’s hard to say how much of the problem was musical direction and how much was Gary’s alcohol and drug problem.)
I remember when Hi Infidelity came out, and I had a few friends in high school, who were big REO fans, and their reaction to it was “What the hell is this s..t?”
It’s time to put this ship to the shore and throw away the oars.Gotta love it.
Mom lives in Boston, in a two-family with my sister and her husband, my sister’s son , wife, and 2-year-old twin boys, and another son, and is home from the hospital after 3 months of pain from a broken pelvis.
She will be 89 in December.
I live in Florida, but will be visiting her in Jan.
We could ALL use your prayers! Thanks, Sis! :-)
As you know, word has gotten out that I am “good with” certain kinds of “difficult” children. If that is indeed the case, Praise God that He has given me that gift.
But now Fridays have become just like Tuesday, if you catch my drift.
But I still have my rockin’ teens so I’ll be OK.
My reaction to that line has always been “A ship with oars? A rowboat has oars.” I know the Roman and Phoenician ships had oars, but I don’t know any Romans or Phoenicians.
I confess I did like the song back then, but I don’t think the song speaks as much to someone in my current state - married for 26 years, ship firmly chained to the port.
Most people I knew had that reaction an album or two later. Hi Infidelity still had a lot of good guitar songs on it - Follow My Heart and Tough Guys, Don’t Let Him Go had a great back-and-forth between keyboard and guitar.
