Old Days - Chicago
Old days
Good times I remember Fun days Filled with simple pleasures Drive-in movies Comic books and blue jeans Howdy Doody Baseball cards and birthdays Take me back To the world gone away Memories Seem like yesterday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey1D4mARglY Last edited by Snapolit1; 10-30-2020 at 12:53 PM.

Peter Cetera refused to sing the song at concerts very quickly because he said the lyrics were too corny. Horn player Jim Pankow wrote it.

That lyric is wrong. I am virtually certain it's filled with simple pleasures. The internet has lots of wrong lyrics.

I read somewhere that he particularly hated the Howdy Doody part.
What's pretty amazing about the clip (from a Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve) is that they are really playing, and sound great. Not like America Bandstand or Soul Train, which had some of the word lip synching ever done. I wonder how many bands today would do something this live on TV. Very very few.

Chicago is sickly talented with so many awesome songs that are exponentially better because of all of the horn work included!! But now I'm annoyed as crap that Cetera thinks poorly of that tune. What a beautifully poignant childhood memory that Pankow wrote, and Peter Cetera sings it so believably. You would've thought he was expressing his own recollections of his youth. Oh well.

Recently found a documentary on Chicago on Netflix. Early days stuff. Was not the highest production value doc I've ever seen but was excellent.
It's like that Malcolm Gladwell book where he discussed the Beatles. How did those guys get so freaking good? They played nonstop for years. That's how. Last edited by Snapolit1; 10-30-2020 at 12:56 PM.

I never understood why Cetera sang such a high percentage of their material. Yes he was an excellent vocalist, but Lamm was too.
