My brother is usually pretty busy with soccer activities on Saturdays (3 kids, all playing), but we found a window that worked, and his wife...
Read more →One of my favorite rockier groups from the ’80’s. I was pretty much a Christian radio kid growing up, and Idle Cure put some edge into the schmaltzy AOR I subscribed to. As always, my friend Chris Payton paved the way for my evolving musical tastes for most of those years. Fist bump, dude....
