The article is bands of the last 30 years.......

SMBs last hit was "Abracadabra" in 1982. My friend. 1982 was 32 years ago.

"Fly Like an Eagle" turns 38 this year

"Book of Dreams" turns 37

I grew up listening to this music. Soon, I'll be looking into the assisted living facility they are building down the street from me.
