'Tuff Enuff' - The Fabulous Thunderbirds

Driving to get my daily iced latte, "Tuff Enuff" by The Fabulous Thunderbirds popped on Classic Rewind (SiriusXM).

"Tuff Enuff" is one of those songs I've always sort of known but never really researched much. In fact, I had no idea the band behind the track was even named The Fabulous Thunderbirds. I've never owned any of their albums nor have I seen them. Researching them a little I learned they are a blues band that formed in the 70s and have had a slew of member changes. Also, the band is still touring and will apparently be in Ohio Friday night. I guess I'm just late to this party. "Tuff Enuff" is a pretty groovy track. The video is classic 80s gold.

My KIX Countdown Has Begun

It dawned on me today that I am seeing KIX live - this month! In fact, I'll be seeing them in 17 days. It's been so long since I've seen them perform. Literally years... and I can't wait to see them in action again. Naturally, they still sound great. I found some live clips of them taken just a few days ago. I hope they have good merchandise. I want a new T-shirt!

The James Gang Will Reunite One More Time

Today, Joe Walsh announced plans for his next VetsAid concert. Walsh will reunite the James Gang - and he's including famous friends like Dave Grohl, Nine Inch Nails, the Breeders, and the Black Keys to perform, too. The James Gang will feature Walsh, Dale Peters and drummer Jim Fox and will mark the first time the trio has played live together in 15 years.

If you didn't know, all the bands on the bill - and Dave Grohl - are from Ohio. Drew Carey will host and yep, he's from Ohio too ("Cleveland Rocks!").

VetsAid 2022 will take place at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio on November 13. Tickets go on sale Friday.

The show is being billed as the final James Gang performance. All proceeds from the event will go to veterans' charities.
