in defense, from the letters section of the October 1973 issue of Creem:
Thank you for being one of the few, if not the only, "Rock" magazines in existence that believes in, or even believe that there are any bands that make less than $10,000 a night. Believe it or not, Rolling Stone, there are some that are talented.
Gary Richrath R.E.O. Speedwagon

He was REO's lead guitarist and one of the main songwriters from the band's start all the way through the end of the 80s. He was only 65.

I never paid REO Speedwagon much mind, but one of their videos (Time for Me to Fly) came up on a Vevo channel I was watching the other day and I found myself really enjoying it and decided to check out some other stuff.

I find this all very defensible. Am I just getting old?
