"Saturday in the Park" "I'm a Man" "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is" "25 or 6 to 4" "Questions 67 and 68".

These songs are awesome.

How did the fuck did the band that did that good music back in the late 60's turn into the shit parade that gave us 80's radio dreck like "If You Leave Me Now" or "Glory of Love"? What the fuck happened?

HUGE CTA fan here. Probably one of my top 10 albums EVER.
I used to use Beginnings when demoing audio equipment.

Chicago, not so much.
I know the difference. I also trust Mr. B. knows the difference. If not, his fucking loss.

1978 was a tragic and transitional year for Chicago. The year began with an acrimonious split with long-time manager James William Guercio (which had actually occurred three months earlier). Then, on January 23rd, guitarist/singer/songwriter/group co-founder Terry Kath died of an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound (reportedly incurred while cleaning his gun). Another version describes Kath's drunken last words to guitar tech Don Johnson: "Don't worry, guys. It isn't even loaded. See?". Kath was the group's leader onstage, and for many longtime fans, its musical soul. Terry Kath's stunning death could have meant the end for Chicago, but encouraged by friends and admirers such as Doc Severinsen, the group held fast and soldiered on.

It happens to every band. They should all give up after 10 years.

I saw them at the Garden State Arts Center (the PNC Center) last year. They were on tour with Huey Lewis and the News.

They both put on a good show. A couple of the Chicago guys sat in on a couple of the HLN pieces and Huey sang lead on a couple of the Chicago songs.
