Turn Me Loose

I'm at the Elkhart County Fair rockin' out to Loverboy. I'm laughing even as I type that. Let's just say that Mike Reno looks a little different today than he did in 1982. But, if I close my eyes...he sounds EXACTLY the same. This is so flashback...

OK, all I want to know is - what happened to the red leather pants? HAHA!

Odd...I lead worship in red leather pants. Okay, not really, but the thought is interesting. I had Loverboy on vinyl...sad.

Gangs in the Street shouldn't be sung by anyone not wearing a headband. It's just true...

This is awesome. Fair's are all about the "previously popular". I just spent a week running sound for our fair here. Got done last night. Our opening night was Lynard Skynard and the closer was Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. You should see what Joan looks like now!

I may have actually enjoyed Loverboy...oops, did I say that out loud...

You weren't secretly wishing for the red leather pants, were you? Were you?!!??

I daresay we all looked a little different in 1982. I had no idea these guys were still rocking, though. Cool.

Ha ha! In 1990, when I was in college, we went to a Loverboy concert and experienced the same thing (except the band sounded horrible!).

As much as the drop off was back then, its hard to even envision them on stage 17 years later.
