George Thorogood Rocks Effingham
Courtesy - LincolnTrailPublishing.com
Once upon a time, in the far-too-distant past, rock stars built careers on talent instead of trendy looks and marketability. The true 
testament to such talent is longevity.
The trendy, under-talented and over-marketed ones will not stand the test of time. It takes true talent and dedication to continue a successful career for 40 years, and George Thorogood and The Destroyers have done it.
Thorogood's never been a pretty boy, not by any stretch of the imagination, but his music is raw, unrefined, punch-you-in-the-gut rock and roll that will endure. At his recent performance at Effingham Performance Center, the 64-year-old rocker proved that he can still rock the house.
Most of us 40-somethings are very familiar with original songs such as "I Drink Alone," "Get a Haircut and Get a Real Job," and "One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer."
Notable cover songs Thorogood and The Destroyers made famous include the Bo Diddley classic "Who Do You Love," and the old Hank Snow country hit "Move It On Over." Of course, the song that is synonymous with "George Thorogood" is "Bad to the Bone."
