So, that's their 50th anniversary tour? Hmmm, was hoping for something more.

The Styx/REO Speedwagon package is a proven thing. Nothing wrong with that. But I did hope for something a little more for 50th anniversary. But at least we’ll get an extended Styx set once Kevin Cronin inevitably backs out over COVID

Or, we'll get a short Styx set because Kevin Cronin will tell a story about how his dog got Covid and battled it for months and it reminded him of a time when he got sick when he was a kid and his dog was his best friend and slept beside him night after night. He was obviously said because he was sick and couldn't get out of bed play with him. He used to go in his backyard and play fetch with a frisbee and it was so much fun. But, he just didn't have the strength to do it because he was so sick. His dog was there for him at that time so he decided to do the same for his dog this. Yes, it was different this time because he is old and can't run about like he used to when he was younger. This dog was older too and had never caught a frisbee. The dog's knees were so arthritic that he would never be able to run and jump like that. So, he stayed by his dog's side and nursed him back to health. Time changes everything but sometimes the best thing to do is "roll with the changes".

Damn that’s a good take. I remember the first time I saw REO on the Main Event tour in 2003. Kevin wasted a huge chunk of their already short time allocation rambling on at great length about taking his son to the playboy mansion. It was pretty bizarre.
