When I was growing up, they were massive. White South Africans had a penchant for soft rock and AOR.
Journey, Asia, Boston, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Chicago, Toto, Dr Hook, Bryan Adams, etc.
Totally didn’t know TOTO was performing in TAipei till too late to get tickets. Then totally pissed off that they performed at the FARMHOUSE after their show and i missed that too.
Well I didn’t really missed NOT going to Air Supply the few times they came round to Taipei. NOt that I don’t like them, but not enough to attend a concert
Journey was huge in the Midwest when I was growing up. They had the formula down: love songs for the girls, hard rock for the boys, long hair, high voices. It was about this time I was getting into Zeppelin. I guess I wasn’t a total idiot in my youth.
