Before the concert Tuesday night, my husband's friend asked me where I was back in the day of REO Speedwagon, so I told him my favorite memory of the band's music.
I was in the middle school locker room, changing after 6th grade P.E. (I don't think any of us showered, and that's not the point of this blog. Sorry, guys). Someone had shared a piece of juicy gossip and I belted out, in my best REO "Take it on the Run" imitation, "I don't believe it, not for a minute!"
That got a big laugh.
Getting big laughs INTENTIONALLY in a 6th grade locker room: priceless.
Finding a clever way to steer conversation away from damaging gossip: also priceless.
And memorable, even 31 years later.
