| “If you would’ve told me in the basement of Glendale Heights, Illinois in 1975 that I would be standing with these guys, I think my head would’ve exploded. I’ve been in this business for about 20 years now, and let me tell you, thee guys are the best of the best. They represent the values that the fans will listen, and will care.” |
