There’s no better way to get back on the job again this week than with a live performance of Back on the Road Again by REO Speedwagon. It’s a band named after a truck, singing a song about being out on the road, it just doesn’t get any more meta than that. Check out how much better the song has aged than has the band after the jump.

I swear RIO Speedwagon's Greatest Hits is the ONLY cassette my Dad owned while I was growing up. Any time we were in the car, this was playing.
Such fond memories.
That Speedwagon is built almost entirely of aftermarket parts.
Although I really miss Gary Richrath, it could be worse.
