Nobody Knows July 30, Some rock stars fade into obscurity, what with changing trends and tastes. The singer-songwriter that was ahead of her time In the s, folk-powered singer-songwriters like Bob Dylan and Joan Baez brought a rawness and poetry to both mainstream music and the rising counterculture moment. We never hid anything or pretended it was anything else, but just figured, ah, let's put T.

Reno and Dean, for their part, played along, sometimes claiming it was them, while other times remaining ambiguous about who the butt belonged to, which, as their fame grew, only added to the mystery. Why bother rocking the boat and make a big deal out of it?

Case solved, right? Not exactly. Before we put an end to this, take a look at the cover again and notice the big, hairy wrist, which obviously does not belong to any year-old girl. Does it belong to one of the band members or, as is strongly believed, the model's father and photographer David Kennedy? Neither, it seems. So there it is: two people, one image and a shortage of red leather pants apparently Reno and Dean didn't pack theirs on the trip to New York resulted in one of the most iconic Canadian album covers ever, complete with a piece of trivia that still comes up more than 30 years later.

Other than a brief hiatus in the early s, Loverboy has been a going concern ever since that fateful night in The exact details of the meeting vary depending on whom you ask. Reno tends to put a near-mythical spin on the initial tete-a-tete, suggesting he stumbled into the warehouse arbitrarily after watching a Johnny Rivers show at the Refinery. There was Dean sitting on a soda crate stomping along to some guitar riffs.

Dean remembers it differently, saying it was more of an organized get-together. He was playing with a guitarist who once played with Reno, so the singer was invited down to the warehouse to jam. What is clear is that the two clicked. Both were somewhat down on their luck and cynical about the industry. Dean had just been unceremoniously kicked out of the band Streetheart, which particularly stung since the act was being hyped at the time as the next-big-thing in Canada. Reno, meanwhile, was working construction jobs in Calgary after suffering a similar fate in Toronto with his band Moxy.

But I heard Mike sing, they were just sort of jamming in the next room. The two met the next night and wrote a few songs.

Not long after that, they made a handshake pact to form a musical partnership and Loverboy was born. It was just really bad. It made you play a bit simpler or write a bit simpler. Eventually, the band left for Vancouver, where they picked up drummer and fellow Calgary native Matt Frenette and bassist Scott Smith.

But by that point, he had already helped push Bachman-Turner Overdrive to great success in the U. Around the time he was shedding the weight, Reno got a call from producer Bob Rock, who engineered their first four albums. I do want to put out a new song every couple of months.

Even without a new record, Reno is noticing an uptick of interest in Loverboy. Last season on 30 Rock, Pete Hornberger revealed that he was in the band for three months. And most of them are young! Even kiddies, like 10 years old. They even know all the words.
