    Here is a fun story about Kevin Cronin. We are from the same suburb in Chicago (Oak Lawn). When my dad was young he had a band and as everyone would say, "little Kevin Cronin" would come hang over the back fence and say, teach me how to play guitar! So my dad and his band would kind of laugh (not in a mean way, it's just that KC was so insistent). So "little Kevin" would hang out and learn how to play guitar. Yrs later my dad's band got an amazing record contract, but because they fought so bad between themselves they blew it. But a lot of great bands came out of the Chicago area around that time, REO, Styx, Cheap Trick. Years later after REO had made it big, Kevin always came back for Oak Lawn days, rode in the parade and was always very good to the community.

    The lead guitarist, Gary Richrath (RIP) was a great player and underrated. He is often overlooked. If you want to hear his ability, listen to "The Flying Turkey Trot" from their first live album, "Live: You Get What You Play For!" This was released in 1977, before REO mellowed out some and began releasing lighter songs that Kevin Cronin (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) wrote. Gary Richrath ended up quitting the band in 1989 over artistic differences.

    What an anthem! This song came out when I was a teenager, and I'm almost 60. I can honestly say it has always been one of my top 5 favorite songs and I still listen to it regularly.

    Man!! When we were listening to this song in high school (1978) we didn't have a care in the world and look where we are NOW and everything we've been through! But we STILL just gotta keep on rollin' and Turn Some Pages!! My high school boyfriend lost both his wife and his son to heroin and that's just ONE of the sad friend stories.

    Kevin Cronan on vocals and piano alongside Gary Richrath on lead guitar this band was heaven. This is my favorite song by REO Speedwagon. This is the one and only song from my teenage years that I actually blast the radio when it comes on. My all-time favorite and it broke my heart when Gary split with the band. The feeling he put into his guitar work hits me right in my soul now as it did back then.

This song is quietly becoming my all-time favorite...well, maybe, 2nd to...can't even say it (Southern Rock 'N Roll Respect...about stairways...I am a one-time, public school teacher of Little Lee). My insight into music is mainly from a guy noted in Appetite For Dysfunction, by Vicky Hamilton...who attributes her knowledge from this guy as well. In other words...love this song...love your reaction.
