Let’s Get in A Time Machine and Go Back to the ’80s
The Bordas and Bordas law firm sponsors the KeyBank Pavilion concert series. Recently, that sponsorship allowed me to travel in a time machine back to the 80’s and have a blast. I went to see the concert involving REO Speedwagon and Chicago. I was not a particularity big fan of either band and was not expecting much other than a nice evening out. We got to the concert a little early. We sat at the firm seats, which provided a spectacular view of the stage. I looked around and saw all the "old" people in the Pavilion. I thought, “What are all these old people doing at a rock concert?” It then dawned on me that I am one of these "old" people, which just heightened my questioning of why I came to a concert two see two bands that I never had any particular fondness for while I was growing up. However, then REO Speedwagon opened the concert with one of their songs that brought me back to my high school years driving my brother’s red Vega station wagon.
As we belted out “Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another that you’ve been messin’ around” it brought me right back to the 80’s. When Chicago came on stage, the time machine continued to fly us back through time zones. Watching these men on stage in their late 60s and early 70s having the time of their lives made me realize that if you are open to allow yourself fly in a time machine, you can have a great time no matter what your age. So the next time Hall and Oates are playing, count me in even though I was never practically a big fan of them, because I am a big fan of having fun.
