OT: REO Speedwagon's promotion for their new album...

by **fightingilliniJRNY** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 7:02 am

...includes a radio station tour (like Journey did for the Arrival album, I assume) and playing the National Anthem at baseball Opening Day in both St. Louis and Kansas City. If they can get things like that lined up, I can't wait to see what promotion Journey will have.

Just got the news about it this morning,here's the detailed thing.

My first thought was Journey...I am now curious too,Illini.Wondering how will J's Mgmt. handle the new album promotion wise.I hope they already have a plan.
They should be at least twice as smart as REO and also fast.

I just hope they learn from past mistakes and from other bands,too.

... and hopefully they'll wake up as far as Journey's concerned. The opportunity is right in front of them for the first time in a long time!

Even better then.Looks like they're starting to use their brains.

Journey will get the treatment the Eagles get compared to Journey now and REO will be getting to do radio interviews. WOOHOO!

If only the owners of the Cardinals would get smart and get some REAL musicians to sing the National Anthem. Sure they have great talent on the field, they just don't know good music.

by **Angiekay** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 1:01 am

They'll be on Bob & Tom tomorrow morning!!

They were on a local station this morning. Claimed they invented the power ballad. The station has played their new single a few times.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, givin Jon and STL manager Tony Larussa's relationship in ARF(Animal Rescue Foundation). However, Tony didn't have a very good night last night. No, the Cards losing wasn't the problem, this was:

I don't think Jon and Neal can ask Tony for help in getting them to play the SSB opening Day. Tony has bigger problems.

They are full of shit, but I am sure Journey won't mind if they have that distinction.

Yep, that's just what the Cards needed right before Opening Day. I've been watching them put up new World Championship signs at the stadium for the past few days, and now this happens. Dangit!

Dude, don't get your hopes up for a repeat or even a division title. Milwaukee and Cincinnati are both better this year. St Louis is really depleted and half the team is on IR.

Oh, believe me, I'm not under the delusion that they're going to go anywhere this year. It would just be nice if they could keep from embarrassing themselves. I really think that Milwaukee is the team to watch in the division for '07. The Suppan defection really hurt. Chicago spent a buttload of money, but hey, they're the Cubs. They'll collapse by June or July. Pittsburgh never does anything, Houston is on a downswing, and Cincinnati might surprise some people.

I'll be happy if the Cards finish third. Can't win 'em every year, I guess.

It ought to be fun watching Chicago. You know when it gets hot in July, and the Cubs lose 5 in a row, Lou Piniella is going to melt down and throw an epic tantrum.. I love that guy. I guarantee you he will blow a gasket and meltdown, throwing bases, kicking dirt on Umps, etc. He is classic.

He's a kick. It's too bad he was buried in Tampa for so long. It will be good having him in the division.

.093 is nothing. That .08 limit punishes people for virtually nothing. It's only good to pad lawyers' pockets.

Before anyone says it, I am not advocating drunk driving or saying it is ok. The old .10 limit was enough. The habitual dangerous drivers on the road are way above that.

Yeah dude, BUT, that .093 was a good 2 hours after the arrest. He allegedly blew in the Pig Pen 120 minutes later.

I love Tony though.

That does make it a bit different.

Hey fucker, that is my favorite team. Anytime you get your sorry ass to Chicago, tickets and beer are on me.

Dude, you serious? I will change up my itinerary to WAS DC for the Maylee and we should catch a game in Wrigley. I have always wanted to go there.

by **Rockindeano** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 12:31 pm

SJ, I am leaving LAX on the 10th for a nonstop to BWI, but fuck that. I will fly into CHI, and we can go to Cubbis and Bucs then fly out to DC afterwards and get slaughtered with Vader.

Too much money to stop in Chitown. However, I am hoping to catch Nationals and Florida in DC on the 10th.

Yeah...it would've difficult for me to swing because I have two other people coming too. PM where you're staying and what time you're getting in Thursday. I'll book my flight accordingly. That is if there's anything scheduled for Thursday night. As it is now, we were planning on getting in kind of late. It's up for change though. I was assuming nothing was going on, and we were just planning on getting a good night's sleep before the mayhem of the Melee.

I am into BWI at 516P. Duke picks me up and we are off to the bars dude. Vader says we are going to blow up the nations' capitol.

I'm taking Thursday off and we'll be there around the same time. I can see it now....Dog The Bounty Hunter chasing a bunch of drunk fuckin' MelodicRockers around the nation's capitol. I'd stomp Dog and his crackhead looking brother. Leland looks like a tough motherfucker though. :lol:
