Seriously, what was the deal with the hair in the 1970s?

It’s unsettling.

Lightly smoked brisling sardines, extra virgin olive oil, black olives, red bell pepper, herbs of Provence (spices), salt, garlic.

Sounds good. I might have to give these a shot.

I also like the Wild Planet brand sardines. They’re not as flavorful as the King Oscar Mediterranean, but they’re very high quality for a low price.

Kansas is at neither end of the yellow brick road. You either need to fly your house there or take a balloon lifted from the Omaha World Fair.

Sardines are a near-perfect food.

I saw the same line up at ISU in ab-Normal, IL. It still ranks as one of the best live performances I’ve ever attended and that includes Clapton, Santana, early Charlie Daniel’s and Chicago amoung too many others to name. It was after that tour that Cheap Trick took off. Ah, memories.

I think it was in 1982 or so, a couple buddies found out Dave Hope and Kerry Livgren became born again Christians. They were Kansas fans and attended a concert. At one point they held up a sign that said Jesus Loves You or something like that.

Dave Hope saw it from stage, during a song called a roadie over and pointed out my friends. They were given backstage passes and met Dave and Kerry.

For several years after that, whenever Kansas came to town, Either Dave or Kerry would call my buddies and ask how many tickets they wanted. I was away at college and only got to go once. What a rush. We were in the first few rows and had backstage passes to hang with the band after the show.

The instrument room was really cool. Plenty of backup instruments ready for instant deployment.

It was toward the end of their big run. John Elephante was lead singer.

He and his brother are very successful Christian music producers now.

Kansas’s first three albums were/are awesome! I was/am a fan from the beginning. After those three, they went to “commercial” for me!

I thought the article was about the state. Sardines in “Steak territory”? My bad.
