Timothy Schmidt of the Eagles - actually he came and left a few times. I don't know what Poco is, but he's a bass player.

Edit: Yeah, okay, he was in Poco too it looks like...I think the Eagles are a little more famous than Poco though...

That's a joke you actually didn't get. But you didn't know the band I was referring to.

See the bolded bands I kinda like in small doses. But that's what I grew up on, them and KISS, LED Zeppelin and ZZ Top.

I saw Foreigner 2.0 a couple of years ago at PNC after a Pirates' game. I was not disappointed. Never liked them when they were popular but for 45 minutes of live music, I was glad I saw them.

maybe it's not a fair comparison, but for me, those bands all retired and were replaced with Quiet Riot, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Great White, Def Leppard, etc. and the less metal, but related John Cougar Mellencamp, put together, they are the nadir of American pop music.

REOSpeedwagon-Chicago-Eagles-Bad Company/country-rock generation was a step before the nadir.

meanwhile, the hip crowd in DEEtroit was listening to George Clinton's Funkadelic, ...or some of those other late 70s funk bands... or punk rock. and in the 80's getting into the seminal Detroit electronic music scene.

After looking up Poco, I get it now.

I remember the song Crazy Love.

I'm surprised I didn't at least know who Poco was; they had a lot of pretty big names that came and went from that band.

Oh, and when I read your post, I was pretty sure that it was a joke that I just wasn't getting.

Poco was the band of the feather-haired, flannel-shirted, straight-legged jeaned, waffle-souled shoe ilk. Rebels in their own minds.
