I don't know why this video clip makes me feel so old. Maybe it's because the boys from REO Speedwagon are from the midwest like I am. My buddies and I saw them when we were young at the Assembly Hall in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, the Illinois State Fair in Springfield and various other locations. Just hearing the chorus alone brings back great memories. I've ooh ooh ooh'd along with this song a thousand times.
My friend Paul produced and engineered the original version of "Roll" way back when. I've written about that here before. It's still the song with the greatest air-organ solo fit to play on your dashboard EVER!
I just wanted to share this with some of you other old people. I thought you might appreciate a nostalgic tune on a Monday afternoon.

Paul, had to listen all the way through...even though I have the greatest hits CD in the player in my pick-up. I agree, a lot of great memories , including a certain girl that we both knew well. I've often wondered whatever happened to her. Keep sharing, and I'm glad you got in touch! Well, time for me to fly.......Foxy 5-0
certain girl???? do i know her?
I loved their early eighties stuff. but man, I can't stand their sappy ballad "I Can't Fight This Feeling". it's definitely CRINGE-tastic!!
thanks for linking me. I'm going to add your blog to my blogroll too. :)
