Funny they where one of the first bands to pull the Lip Sync on stage deal and got caught doing it...not surprised at all

His favorite song was REO Speedwagon? They should give it to her.

[dfwgator]

True story, I had a good friend in High School, biggest REO fan on the planet, always wore their T-Shirts.

And then Hi Infidelity came out, and he swore he’d never listen to them ever again, they sold out.

[A Navy Vet]

Bummer. One of my favorite melodic rock bands of the era.

LaTonya, 52, said the last time she spoke with George, the two sang REO Speedwagon’s 1980 No. 1 hit to each other,

It may have been released in 1980, but it was no.1 in 1981.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Virtue signaling by rockers.

You got to roll with the changes.

If not, you will have to ride the storm out.

Maybe. Or maybe because popular music is such a young person’s game, when you are older, you just have to take advantage of whatever you can.

REO got a platinum plaque? Maybe they’re giving it away due to guilt :)

[freedumb2003]

Celebrating the Fentanyl lifestyle!

Kevin Cronin really knifed one of the great guitar players

this guy broke a string while playing this song...

Then he had the nerve to flat out lie in concerts about writing the song Golden Country..some ridiculous story about the choppers in Saigon..timing doesnt fit..AND...and he isnt even credited as the writer

[mylife]

just when you though REO could not get gayer..

“Saint George the DrugsSlayer.”

I’m going to make a guess here, but I bet he’s the first saint ever to hold a gun to a pregnant woman’s belly during a home invasion. Just a hunch......
