Music:
REO
Speedwagon/Pat
Benatar:
Love on the
Run Tour
Mixing the
soft rock
ballads of
REO
Speedwagon
with the
hard edge
sounds of
Pat Benatar
may seem
like an odd
combination
but so did
peanut
butter and
chocolate at
one time.
And look at
how good
that turned
out. Hearing
is
believing,
and you will
believe.
