This brings me back to H.S. and the memories I made with all my friends. Partying, bonfires, fast cars, no cell phones, just living in the moment. Break-ups, movie theaters, skanking rinks. Knowing who your neighbors were . Those were the best days of my life. Seems it’s all changed way more than my liking.

I'm 58 years old...REO was my band back in the day. Trust me, the good ole days are not gone. This classic music lives on, and we can listen to it anytime we want to. Remember...rock and roll never dies! Have you heard of Greta Van Fleet...the young rock band from Michigan? They have resurrected the classic rock sound...a brilliant, talented band of brothers. Check out their album 'The Battle at Gardens Gate' and their latest album 'Starcatcher'. Both are epic albums! Be prepared to be amazed. I discovered this band in 2017 thanks to my daughter who first told me about them. Since then, I have seen them four times live in concert. Give them a listen and watch some of their live videos on KZbin. Greta Van fleet has an arsenal of killer songs! Rock and roll lives on!✌️🤘🤘🤘

Every one wants to shoot every one and thats what i dont get . I got burned when i was 2 in a car fire and my life was hell at times but not once did i ever want to shoot any one and the honest truth is there was several I hated with a passion but i never thought about shooting them. People need to lear if something offends you, suck it up and move on . I find shit that offends me every day but i just move on. This but hurt generation has lost their minds.

REO is and always had been my favorite band. Their music has gotten me through so many major events in my life; moving 1500 miles from Connecticut to Texas, divorce from my 1st husband, brought me together with my 2nd husband and chemo therapy. We go to see them at least once a year if not more. Whenever they are performing within a 700 mile range from Austin, TX, we are there. Have tickets for 2 shows this November that i can't wait to see. Definitely by then, it will be "Time For Me to Fly". ❤❤
