6. Saw them in 1984 as well

in the Bronco Bowl in Dallas.

"I went back to ohio
But my city was gone
There was no train station
There was no downtown
South howard had disappeared
All my favorite places
My city had been pulled down
Reduced to parking spaces
A, o, way to go ohio

Well I went back to ohio
But my family was gone
I stood on the back porch
There was nobody home
I was stunned and amazed
My childhood memories
Slowly swirled past
Like the wind through the trees
A, o, oh way to go ohio

I went back to ohio
But my pretty countryside
Had been paved down the middle
By a government that had no pride
The farms of ohio
Had been replaced by shopping malls
And muzak filled the air
From seneca to cuyahoga falls
Said, a, o, oh way to go ohio"

2. I just saw them about a month ago.

Chrissie can still rock the house!

3. I saw them in Los Angeles in March. They sounded great

but I would have loved to have seen James Honeyman Scott playing guitar.

4. The original line-up was the best

I saw them at The Agora in Clevo w/ a fake ID I think in 1979; What power they had.

Crissy's brother Terry is a member of Clevo's own Legendary 15-60-75 (and one of the greatest bands of all-time):
