Pinko Punko writes about driving through Texas, listening to the radio: I believe these cobags were the perpetrators of the Def Leppard/Erasure double shot. They bill themselves as 80s and more, but what they mean by 80s is 83-95, and...
I am grasping at straws but I made myself laugh with this bit from November 21, 2006. And now all of a sudden "wacked out and posting" reminded me of the line from REO Speedwagon's "Keep on Lovin' You", a...
Today I am reminded of the famous Herman Melville quote: " To produce a mighty blog, you must choose a mighty theme ." Done and done. I didn't get on the bus until it was down the road a ways, but I'm enjoying the ride. Thanks, boys. Part One Now that the pleasantries are out of the way, let's get down to brass tacks. Every so often I like to perform a test on myself (no, not that kind, silly!)....
Some old school REO Speedwagon for ya. {Yes, I’m aware the 1973 song/album’s name was technically Ridin’ the Storm Out. By the way, the band was never the same after Gary Richrath left, but I digress.} After last night’s 3-0 shutout at the hands of the Bruins, coming after the 5-0 shutout in San Jose, which came after the 5-2 third period collapse against the Kings, some of...

Q: Do I want to play video games on my computer? A: Not really. Q: What if the video game was based on the music of REO Speedwagon ? A: That would change my answer to a maybe. Q: What if that game used primarily very recent REO Speedwagon songs? A: Please see my original answer. But hey, I'm not the target audience for Find Your Own Way Home, the new REO Speedwagon video game. Here's how the game's...
Coming sooner than you could have hoped to PCs and Macs everywhere is Find Your Own Way Home , the first casual game to feature what the distributor (getting out ahead of critics) calls "a real rock band." REO Speedwagon : real. You're the nice lady rock journalist on the left. Fans take note: Ten of the twelve tracks in the game are from their most recent album, so you can jump right into...
Lots of snarky folks in the gaming community are pointing and laughing at the announcement of an adventure game based on and around the music of REO Speedwagon, but you won't be hearing any of that condescension from me. I grew up listening to their greatest 1980s power ballads and still enjoy dropping "Can't Fight This Feeling" into my music playlist from time to time. What I am going to...
An REO Speedwagon game. Mull that sentence over for a while, and your mind darts between reactions. Namely, from amused, to confused, to bewildered, then back to amused, via a short stop-over utter...
REO Speedwagon is getting its very own videogame , heading to the PC and Mac. I know you don't believe it, or at the very least think we're talking about a funny Flash game. We sh*t you not, however, this is a real, official, genuine REO Speedwagon game! It's called Find Your Own Way Home and it sounds crap! It's being sold as a "hidden object adventure game" which is PR speak for "you...

REO Speedwagon (that's a band, kids) and developer Merscom are releasing... a hidden object adventure game... called Find Your Own Way Home ... for the PC and Mac... starring a hip Hollywood reporter named Ruby... on assignment with the band... who has to locate the band's missing leader. No, that isn't just a chill - that's the Dark One's own touch on your spine,...
