What the HELL-This is Being CENSORED For a PROFANITY That Was ACTUALLY BLEEPED OUT-Professor of Rock

Описание: Coming up next… REO Speedwagon's I Can't Fight This Feeling was a classic #1 that took 10 years to get together. It sat on the shelf for a decade because today’s legendary guest Kevin Cronin had no clue how to finish it. He had no idea what the song meant.. so one day, desperate for a hit and desperate to finish it, Kevin decided to bring in another iconic singer-songwriter to help him. But right before he was supposed to come, this singer got pissed. What the hell does this song mean… And in that second, Kevin realized that the opening line should be the chorus and title of the song and it all came together…what had taken 10 years now took mere minutes to finish and it became a #1 smash…but Kevin admits that He has taken a lot of Crap over the years for a cheesy lyrics that still haunts him. Get the hilarious story straight from the icon next on Professor of Rock.

1985 was the midpoint of the greatest decade in history… it was the year of live aid, it was the year that the Charity Single We Are The World by USA for Africa was released bringing considerable focus on the plight in Ethiopia, it was the year that Brits like Phil Collins, Wham, Tears For Fears Dire Straits, Aha Battled Americans madonna, Hall and Oates, Huey Lewis and the News and Whitney Houston battled it out for chart supremacy and also the PMRC Parents Music Resource Center freaked out about the filthy fifteen that and other such groups and songs that were corrupting our young people. I certainly didn’t feel corrupted. For some reason, it only made me want to go out and buy more Wasp and Motley Crue albums.

Well, 1985 was a good year for another American band who would fight for the #1 spot in the charts for a welcome and needed AOR comeback. and it came in the form of Reo Speedwagon’s power ballad I Can’t Fight This Feeling Anymore. REO had taken the world by storm in 1981 with the biggest selling album of the year, the 15 weeks spectacular HI Infidelity with the equal great singles, Keep On Loving You which went to #1, and Take it On the Run which went to #5. It seemed like this band would be at the top of the charts forever but their next album really suffered from being put out too fast.

Kevin Cronin said that after the huge success of Hi Infidelity, everyone was putting pressure on him and the band to get back in the studio as quickly as they could. They wanted to ensure that REO made the most of the situation. Kevin felt that he didn’t have enough good material or tracks that met his standard, but the pressure was immense... and he buckled under it pushing to get what he had recorded. The result was the 1982 album Good Trouble. As soon as the record came out it was clear it was not going to have the same kind of massive success that Hi Infidelity
