If the was any truth in advertising the Saturday bill would read: 1/2 of Bad Company with the drummer from Foghat and a couple of random dudes.

Comment by don the legend Thursday, Apr 4, 19 @ 4:44 pm
Questions, so many questions:
1. Is “Old Dominion” code for Mike Madigan?
2. Which lobbyist is the “Bad Company” playing on the 10th with Foghat?
3. Is “Megadeth” a legislative pet name for the state pension funds?
4. “Why don’t we” pass some tax reform legislation?
5. Clearly Springfield needs some “traveling salvation”.
