Episode description as stored

REO Speedwagon frontman Kevin Cronin joins Billy Corgan for an intimate conversation about Midwest rock, a shared Catholic upbringing, and five decades inside one of America’s defining bands. Cronin shares the real story behind writing “Keep On Loving You,” his getting fired in the early days—and later rehired—by REO, and the creative partnership with guitarist Gary Richrath that led to the diamond-selling Hi Infidelity . From Chicago folk clubs to Soldier Field, as well as unknowingly providing cover for gun runners with the band’s plane, to navigating the industry alongside titan Irving Azoff, Cronin reflects on the working-class ethos behind rock and roll made from the heart.
