It’s a busy weekend at the MACC. As Lea Solanga exits the stage (no doubt to thunderous applause), the venue will immediately begin preparing for the arrival of iconic twosome Loggins & Messina. With a smooth, leisurely sound that helped define the ’70s, the duo—which broke up in ’76 but reunited in ’05— promises to trot out all the hits, from “Your Mama Don’t Dance” to “Danny’s Song” (which was played at my wedding and has lyrics—“even though we ain’t got money…”—that are still all too apropos). And you can bet whatever dollars you’ve got left after shelling out for a ticket that they’ll do a rendition of “Lahaina” (“I was sitting at a table on an open bay/Waiting for a drink of rum/When I asked my waitress for the time of day/She said look out, there’s a centipede coming your way…”) Whether this show represents a nostalgia-laced trip down memory lane or an introduction, there are worse ways to spend a Saturday night than listening to a couple of legendary pop-rockers rekindle the flame.
