Transcript:
Clayton: So... What kind of music did your band play? Adam: You name it. But mostly the "big three." Clayton: Wait. So... Beatles, Stones, and the Who? Adam: Chicago, Air Supply and Little River Band. Clayton: I stand zero chance of turning out cool, don't I?

On the other hand, I think the strip is funny enough to take to work, but certainly wouldn’t go to a party where Adam picked the music…..

“The Big Three”? Maybe it was “Some other guy”

Chicago was great! Air Supply, not so much. The LIttle River Band made litle impression on me, I guess. But all three are still going.

Liked all three bands, saw Chicago in concert three times. Best thing about them, they played their own instruments on their recordings – no ghost studio backups.
Air Supply and Little River Band were Australian – is the humor here anti-Australian bias? Should we expect snarky jokes about BeeGees and Olivia Newton-John?

Chicago is one of my favorites. Got to see them live when they came to my college just after the release of Chicago 17. My taste also runs eclectic. You never know what is coming out of my iPhone. AC/DC may play right after Reba followed by Glen Miller and then on to Genesis.

Clayton doesn’t have much interest in band music, does he?
Well, his loss.

Love this one Rob! Read you everyday in the Tennessean, but you hit my trifecta of fav bands, so I had to leave you a note!

Okay, someone has to step in and say it……………..don’t know any of the bands Adam states………..whoa! Am I aging myself! Now, I would have said: Goodman, James and Mancini! :))

to me “The Big Three” refer to The Mikado, The Pirates of Penzance and H.M.S. Pinafore!! :o) (Actually, I like all the bands mentioned)

You have probably never heard of some of the bands that were popular when I was in my late teens. Most of the bands that people hear about is not the sum total of good music.

I, uh… I, um… I had Air Supply on vinyl. It just doesn’t sound like something I admit to in public.
