Are They Still With Us

Episode 8: Brass, Ballads & Backstories: Our Deep Dive into Chicago


Listen Later

After a two-week break (shoutout to Cedar Creek weddings, IMO’s pizza, and Chris’s eternal love for Lion’s Choice), we’re back—and we’re talking all things Chicago… the band, not the city. In this episode, we dive into the legacy of one of rock’s most underrated and overplayed groups—from Terry Kath’s heartbreaking death to mafia management rumors, power ballad backlash, and the truth behind “25 or 6 to 4.”

We’re covering the Dwayne Bailey era, the rise and fall of their cool factor, and why their discography is way deeper than just wedding slow dances and prom songs.

Oh—and yes, we know the audio on our last episode was rough. We really hope we’ve got it figured out now.

Let’s go.
