  • My Year of Concerts™: REO Speedwagon

    #MyYearOfConcerts continued last night with a hometown show! I saw REO Speedwagon right here in Kennewick.

    Almost dying last year definitely sucked, but every dark cloud has a silver lining. One of the silver linings the accident gave me is clarity. It helped me realize there’s a lot of stuff I want to do, see, hear, taste, feel, and experience before I die. And now is the time to lock in …
