“I just finished a song last week, and I hadn’t finished one in about a year. There’s a joy and sense of accomplishment when I finish a song. I’m just sitting here now thinking back when I was a kid – every song I ever wrote – it’s like putting a puzzle together. What a great feeling. Many times I don’t understand how it is I’m able to do it. I just try to respect the fact that I can.”
– R.E.O. Speedwagon’s Kevin Cronin.
