It’s Friday and usually that’d mean a friend comes on and talks about a song. But nobody really cares and I want to keep talking about Illinois, because legendary ‘70s pop-rock from the Land of Lincoln doesn’t start and end with Cheap Trick.
Today it’s Shoes, from Zion, Illinois.
This song by Shoes was actually one of the reasons for this whole newsletter. I was listening to it on the subway and thought, “This song is so good I need to tell people how good it is” and then forgot about it until right now.
But I’m listening to it now, again, in Illinois and still thinking about how good it is.
Thanks for listening,
Will
