This past weekend the whole Chase clan (or a good portion of them) made the trip to Prairie Meadows in Des Moines to watch REO Speedwagon. It was a lot of fun for all of us to get together and rock out with the old farts. LOL, they are good and don't get me wrong they can still rock, but man are they old. Its a little unsettling I guess. I mean they weren't really my era of music but I do remember listening to them as a young child on a tape cassette in my dad's car. So Out of Season was one of my favorite songs and I would listen to it over and over.
But I saw them up there and they looked so old and tired (towards the end of the performance) and I couldn't help but think what they would have been like it their prime and how fast it all must have gone for them. I sure they stand up their on stage sometimes and think "How did we get so old!?" And thats happening to all us. One minute you're a vibrant healthy active youth and the next you're old. I suppose if you're able to keep doing what you love, with the people you love, then thats what matters, and this band I would assume, certainly is.
We certainly made some memories to last a lifetime anyway. :)
