Foreigner just opened for “Boss Baby” in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

I'm sure many enjoyed it...can you imagine that? I can...

 

And after Thanksgiving dinner. . . .

 

That may be one of the 2 good things they ever recorded. The other being "Urgent"

 

be honest and call it what it is ... a tribute band

 

Some of them? there is one of six lol

If they hadn’t written “I Don’t Want To Know What Love Is,” I highly doubt they’d have been asked to play “Blue Morning, Blue Day” or “Starrider” during the Macy’s parade in 2021, even if I personally prefer their earlier material.

 

I guess there are things that are worse than being a member of the 27 club

 

You know it’s not the original Santa?

 

I don't think Mick Jones performs with them any more.

 

You have to cut the original Santa some slack, he’s in rehab

 

Spoiler tags please.

 

Mrs. Fullbug was excited to see them. I walked into the room and she was transfixed and excitedly said, "Foreigner's in the parade." She was part of that weird, non-musical demographic. . . she was a cheerleader and into all that stuff...Journey, REO, Styx, Foreigner.

 

Foreigner didn’t have a Varsity Cheerleader up skirt intro though

 

Where was Mrs Fullbug in 2014? (See above)

 

I’m so sorry. I hope a moderator can get rid of my post and any comments.

I’m just mortified

 

That’s good. I’d heard he’d od’d on mince pies and died

 

LOL, come to think of it, she did disappear during Thanksgiving 2014 for a few days. She said she was visiting friends in NYC!

 

If this somehow prompted 5,000 people across the country to buy their song online today-- that's more productive than selling nothing today.

 

I came downstairs after getting ready to head out to the MiL's house earlier and noticed the float and the music of what sounded like that gad-awful ballad that threw them into the stratosphere of no return.*

"There's gonna be a thread about this I bet..."



* But seriously, they'd already sold out on 4 with "Waiting for a Girl Like You."

 

Their debut album is excellent-easily a 9/10 album for me.

 

Foreigner had a strong 5 year run right out of the gate in 1977. Then they had a several year stall and then the big ballad. That was the last time I followed them. They can still entertain.

 

Next up, Cororeigner

 

Actually Inside Information was among the first cds I ever bought. I guess I was just about the right age.
