REO AS WE KNOW THEM
“It’s weird. We pulled into town last night, all of us being together again checking into a hotel, and I swear to God it felt like the last year and a half just didn’t exist. We’re right back on the road. It just doesn’t feel like we went home—it’s like you fall right back into that groove,” Kevin Cronin says, still trying to get adjusted into yet another Holiday Inn.

A TOUCHING TALE

“It’s weird. We pulled into town last night, all of us being together again checking into a hotel, and I swear to God it felt like the last year and a half just didn’t exist. We’re right back on the road. It just doesn’t feel like we went home—it’s like you fall right back into that groove,” Kevin Cronin says, still trying to get adjusted into yet another Holiday Inn.
After 15 years of countless one-nighters in venues around the world, hotel rooms must seem like home to these guys— although I don’t think the ritual of trashing rooms and tossing hotel sofas into parking lots cuts it these days. “I remember in 72 we did a gig in Miami and it was like the night before New Year’s Eve. We went down to some CBS party with Black Oak Arkansas and terrorized this penthouse apartment right along the coast. I can picture it like it was yesterday. When I think about it we’ve definitely come a long way since then. There are a lot of people still looking for us, I know that much.”
