How will the White Sox disappoint us today? Perhaps the lineup against the Yankees will foreshadow something.

Herb seems to be asking all the right questions. It’s a shame this organization is no longer mired in mediocrity, instead, they’ve hit rock bottom.

With a big lake, a yacht club and a river cutting through it, Chicago is more boatin’ than most Midwestern cities, but that hardly explains what’s going on here in the coming days.

In the span of four days beginning Saturday, three nightclubs will feature cover bands playing what is billed confidently as “yacht rock,” on the assumption that potential ticket buyers will know exactly what that means.

Having such faith in a genre defined after the fact is not what a fool believes. In the years since the heyday of Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, Toto, and so many other purveyors of “rich jazzy textures and irresistible melodies,” as Rolling Stone put it, yacht rock has become an out-of-left-field — sorry, an in-from-a-distant-mooring — cultural force.

How did smooth, slickly produced pop-rock explode (gently! melodically!) onto the scene with all the power of the rains down in Africa? And how did it meet in an accidental, synthesizer-backed harmonic convergence in the Chicago area this month, with shows booked independently at House of Blues Saturday (Yacht Rock Revue), City Winery Monday (Yacht Rock Night with Maggie Speaks) and Wire in Berwyn Tuesday (The Yacht Rockettes)?

Here’s the lowdown:

“You want me to give you like a little rap that you can work with?”

The voice on the other end of the phone sounds uncannily like the voice on 1980 yacht rock classic, “Steal Away.” The New York accent is more pronounced than on that single or on “Hot Rod Hearts,” but, yeah, it’s Robbie Dupree alright.

“I think it was six years ago. It might be as long as seven. I got a phone call from Brian Ray, who is Paul McCartney’s guitarist and bass player. He started out, you know, playing with me on the first record and all of that.

“Anyway, he was (playing) on a cruise, a Weezer cruise. He called me up and said, ‘Hey, the most popular thing on the cruise was this band from Atlanta called the Yacht Rock Revue.'”

In other words, even amidst bands playing original music, people were saying “I can go for that (yes can do)” most fervently to a group dedicated to revisiting a particular tranche of 1970s and early ’80s Top 40.

Granted, they were on a boat. And Weezer was there. But still.

It is a Sunday night at School of Rock in Evanston, and a group of musicians who look considerably older than the typical SOR student is letting it rip on Orleans’ “Still the One.”

The Yacht Rockettes formed last year because the title came in a flash of inspiration during yoga class to Dina DiCostanzo, one of the lead singers. Her friends on Facebook and her husband Jim Barclay, a drummer, loved the idea, a female-fronted yacht rock band that would give them a marketing hook for playing songs laden with musical hooks. The combination of yoga and yacht rock is perhaps not surprising.

The show at Wire will be their second gig, and they are here to add a few new tunes to the repertoire: “Sailing,” by Christopher Cross, a yacht rock superhero in part because he’s still touring, in part because he had a massive hit called “Sailing”; “This Is It,” the 1979 Kenny Loggins paean to affirmative living now (!) feat. Michael McDonald; and “Escape (The Pina Colada Song),” because it’s almost a prerequisite for a yacht rock show.

DiCostanzo and fellow lead singer Christine Mild have their lyrics on iPads perched on music stands. Mild handles the Loggins parts, while DiCostanzo takes the distinctive tone of McDonald, a husky soul timbre that is “higher than you think,” she says.

“Did you just call him ‘Kenny Longings’?” keyboardist Sean Hughes asks DiCostanzo as they prepare to begin on “This Is It.”

After some debate over how to handle the second verse, and whether they’ll go full-reggae during the bridge, they finish a third take of the Loggins tune, the vocals coming together at the end on an exultant, “This is it!”

Hughes exclaims, not without a touch of wryness, “That was it!”

It goes like that throughout the rehearsal: Songs that are harder to learn than you might imagine, despite how smooth, even syrupy, they might have sounded on the radio. And band members who are wrapping their rock-loving hearts around the notion of playing this stuff without irony.

“There’s a chord in ‘This Is It’ that is ridiculous,” Hughes tells his bandmates. He’s already said that as a music fan, he never had much love for “Sailing,” but as a keyboard player, it’s impressive.

“These are like real soft, soothing melodies,” Barclay says, “but the drum parts are pretty kicking and, you know, lots of production stuff’s happening. If you’re gonna really do it right, you have to have about 80 musicians because there are like string parts and multiple keyboard parts.”

“Does anyone really love this song unironically,” guitar player Patrick Martin asks about “Escape,” the Rupert Holmes tale of a couple each placing classified ads for a new love only to — spoiler alert — find each other again over the pineappple-rum drink in the parenthetical.

“Drunk people,” says DiCostanzo.

“(Bleeping) adulterers,” says Hughes.

“Ashley Madison subscribers,” says Barclay.

It’s kind of a plodding melody, but the story satisfies, and they play it twice, because they know the crowd will practically swoon in nostalgia for it. Being a yacht rock band can be about delivering pleasure more than receiving it.

On “Sailing,” horn player Kevin Gawthorp handles the shaker and the triangle like he’s delivering a guitar solo.

“It’s really all about the triangle,” he says.

The Yachtfathers

Yacht Rock Revue, who’ll be at House of Blues Saturday as part of a national tour sponsored by LiveNation and SiriusXM, are, it is fair to say, the admiralty of the yacht rock bands. They got on board this musical vessel almost by accident.

Nick Niespodziani graduated Indiana University and he and his IU band Y-O-U relocated to Atlanta. They toured some, got some of their original songs in commercials, opened for well-known acts, he explains, but they weren’t making a living.

Niespodziani, a talented vocalist who had entered IU thinking he’d sing opera, was in law school, and other band members were thinking about getting real jobs, too, he recalls. But they did have a regular Thursday night cover gig at an Atlanta club.

Niespodziani says it started, sort of, via temp jobs: “Our drummer, Mark, and I, we were both secretaries in the same insurance office. He had this mix that he called the ‘Dentist Office Mix’ that we would play in our cubicle to try to annoy the other people. And it was all like, 10 CC and Player. Orleans. And as it turned out, it didn’t annoy them. They loved it. And so we were like, man, wouldn’t it be kind of funny if we did a whole show of songs like that?”

They were going to call it something like “Seventies AM Gold.” But they discovered the web series “Yacht Rock,” from 2005 , one of the first viral successes of the Internet era. Each episode in the comedy series purported to tell the story of how a yacht rock hit was born, with the actors playing Loggins, ex-partner Jim Messina, McDonald and so on. John Oates, in the series, is kind of a thug, Daryl Hall his stooge. It still holds up. (And the show’s writers now have a podcast called “Beyond Yacht Rock,” because of course there’s a podcast.)

But the musical point is: This juggernaut of a cover-rock genre takes its name from a web comedy series, and that series seems to have taken its name from the Loggins and Messina LP “Full Sail,” which gets held up at the start of each episode.

When the band that would become Yacht Rock Revue played its first yacht rock gig, in 2008, the crowd at the club responded like the workers in the insurance office, “and then it kind of went crazy from there,” Niespodziani says.

Slowly, he recalls, he got over his conflicted feelings about playing these songs rather than ones he’d written.

“In 2010 everybody was into everything being ironic,” he says. “And so there were people in the crowd that were kind of elbowing each other like, yeah, this is funny, right? But that’s not the vibe at all anymore. Now it’s people who just genuinely love Hall and Oates.”

His own stance evolved along a similar path, and the shows moved from a touch campy to more celebratory. The crowds kept coming. Yacht Rock Revue bought a van. They got an office and people to work in it. They developed a Beatles act and a Prince act, and they bought a club so they’d have something to fall back on when yacht rock dried up. It hasn’t.

“As it turns out, yacht rock is super sustainable and not going anywhere,” he says. The SiriusXM Yacht Rock channel supporting the tour is on the air in warm months, he notes, and there is talk of it going year-round.

YRR has sold out a 6,500-seat venue in Atlanta and has performed with many of the original yacht rock musicians at their annual yacht rock festival. And, Niespodziani notes with something approaching wonder, the band members have health insurance and 401K plans.

“You know, we’re playing a Gary Wright song or a Pablo Cruise song, but we’re playing it with the intensity of an AC/DC song,” he says. “There’s something about it that connects when you bring that kind of energy.

“It’s weird to be up there playing a Kenny Loggins song and seeing, you know, crazy ladies out there who look like they’re ready to eat each other’s brains or something. They just get wild. You never knew this soft rock could bring that out of people, but it kind of gives them a sense of empowerment, like, I can’t believe this band is playing these songs, and now I can do whatever I want and drink whatever I want.”

The Canon and the Credo

“The kind of genre-defining song, I would say, is ‘What a Fool Believes,’ by the Doobie Brothers,” Niespodziani says. “In terms of songs that we play that really connect with the crowd, there’s only one song that we have to play every show or people will riot, and that’s ‘Africa,'” the Toto hit about almost nothing that has since been covered by Weezer. “We can’t really get off stage without it.”

The genre has been defined as California musicians in the late 1970s, many of them working on each other’s records. Steely Dan is a pillar, too. “We define it much more broadly,” he says. “It’s just kind of mellow, catchy tunes” from that general era. “It can’t have big heavy guitars in it. It can’t be politically oriented.”

The Yacht Rockettes define the genre as songs between 1975 and 1983, but they’ll stretch it to do Phil Collins’ “Easy Lover,” even though he’s British, or the Hughes Corporation’s “Rock the Boat,” even though it’s kind of a disco tune. There’s room for looseness, Barclay says, considering “it’s a term that was coined 30 years after the genre existed.”

“The only thing that’s funny about it,” Dupree says, “is that the audience is all under 30 years old. So the audience looks the same as it used to look back in 1980. You know, only the song and me got older.”

The music is popular now, the performers think, partly because live music is doing well and cover or tribute bands in particular are on the rise. So is a certain mellowness.

“You hear a lot of bands now trying to capture some of that vibe,” Niespodziani says. “The new Tame Impala song that came out last night actually sounds like a yacht rock song.”

And the music was quality, adds Dupree, who is still making original music: “These bands all had really good singers, really good songs and really good musicians. I mean, it was a serious situation. The second thing is I think that the popular music of today is not as innocent. These are songs that talk about boyfriends and girlfriends and romance and all of that.”

But there may be bigger factors in play.

The soft rock arose, Niespodziani thinks, in reaction to the likes of Led Zeppelin, Cream and the harder, blues-edged music of the late 1960s and early ’70s and to the seriousness of the Vietnam War and Watergate.

“People were like, man, let’s just vibe out to music that you can sit on the beach and drink a margarita too,” he says. “I think that in many ways people are feeling the same way now, which is maybe why our band has continued to grow.”

And he wants it to keep on growing. Irony isn’t the yacht rock thing, but it is certainly ironic that Yacht Rock Revue has noticed in recent years bands in cities around the country that seem to have soaked in their act and are essentially doing a tribute to the tribute band.

“It gets a little old,” he says. “I’m like, Go find your own, unoriginal idea, you know? But if anybody wants to challenge us to a Yacht Rock Off, I welcome the challenge.”

And even more, Yacht Rock Revue is taking some of its earnings to chase down that original dream the band members had coming out of college.

“We just finished recording an album,” he says. “It’s all originals.”

In the Moscow region there is a small cozy town Elektrostal. Its sights for the most part have no historical value due to the fact that the city has a relatively small history. But for a visiting tourist or city dweller, they will be of interest. There is something to see, where to go to have an exciting leisure time.

Today the population of the city is 158 thousand people. Until the beginning of the 20th century there were several small workers' settlements here. After the opening of the electrometallurgical and equipment factories, the place began to be called the natural boundary of Calm. The construction of the railway made this settlement accessible, and workers and families flocked here to earn money. In 1925, the station was named Elektrostal, and the rapid increase in population allowed the village to receive the status of a city.

The founder of the city is a prominent Russian industrialist Nikolai Vtorov. It was he who opened the plant here, creating, in fact, a city-forming enterprise that is still operating. In Soviet times, it was a closed facility, and it was not easy to get to work here.

Today Elektrostal is a promising industrial city with a great future and a heroic past. It bears the proud name "City of Military and Labor Glory".

You can learn about the sights of Elektrostal with descriptions and photos here. There are places for walking, outdoor activities and cultural development.

Those who come to the city by train are met by a monument to the metallurgist. It was installed in November 2017 for the 100th anniversary of the Elektrostal plant. The attraction is made in the style of constructivism. The monument quickly won the love of the townspeople, because this city is supported by ordinary workers.

Elektrost altsy and the founding father of the plant, Nikolai Vtorov, are honored. In 2002, a monument was opened in honor of him, which became a landmark of the city of Elektrostal. The bronze sculpture is installed on the site where once stood a monument to the leader of the world proletariat, V. I. Lenin. Times change, characters change. Today, the plant, founded a century ago, is the largest in Russia. Vtorov himself, whose fortune was estimated at 60 million rubles in gold, according to Forbes magazine, was the owner of the largest capital at the beginning of the century. He was a banker, an industrialist, an entrepreneur, a man of action.

The monument was erected byinitiative of the townspeople who wished to perpetuate the monument to the great man.

One of the popular places for spending weekends and evenings among citizens and guests of the city is the Park of Culture and Leisure. Here you can ride attractions for children and adults, play slot machines, rollerblade or bike. The park is divided into two zones. Fans of unhurried walks in the fresh air make a promenade on the Quiet Alley, and those who prefer outdoor activities flock to the Entertainment Alley. The park has a summer stage, where concerts and cafes are regularly held.

Until 1999, there was no central museum among the attractions of Elektrostal in the Moscow Region. The expositions were exhibited in schools, the house of culture, in factory museums. The city was closed, so there was no large influx of tourists and visitors. The appearance of the historical and art museum made it possible for residents and guests of the city to learn a lot of useful information about their native land, the formation of the production process, and the difficult years of the war. The exposition consists of paintings by local artists, historical artifacts, household items, documents, books and much more. The collection is updated regularly. It also hosts outdoor exhibitions, which are always popular with the townspeople.

One of the main attractions of Elektrostal, the photo of which is available to almost every resident or visitor, is the Main Alley. On herpassers-by like to stroll along shady paths, townspeople rest by the fountain after a hard shift at the plant. Flower beds are the decoration of the alley. In 2006, a flower festival was held here for the first time, which has become traditional. Each enterprise of the city and private individuals give residents a real composition of fresh flowers, which pleases with bright colors all summer long. A riot of colors, aromas and a flight of fantasy reigns here. Walking through the park, you can see Snow White with a basket, a bright well, a multi-tiered cake made from fresh flowers, hearts of lovers or a fabulous house. It is almost impossible not to take a photo against the background of these compositions.

There is a cultural center in the city. It hosts performances by local creative teams and visiting stars, performances and circus performances.

In 1971, the ice palace "Crystal" was opened in the city. Almost immediately, a children's and youth hockey team was organized, which gained sports fame. This is the home sports arena for the Elektrostal hockey team. Matches of different levels are held on the ice.

There are sections for children who go in for hockey or figure skating. Citizens come here with their families to cheer for their favorite team or go ice skating.

Elektrostal is a city with a heroic past. During the war years, more than 12 thousand citizens came to the recruiting station and went to the front to defend their homeland. Almost 4 thousand of them did not return from the battle. To these heroesdedicated to the memorial complex with the inextinguishable Eternal Flame, opened in 1968

But the electricians took part in the war in Afghanistan and Chechnya. By decision of the city authorities, their memory is also immortalized in the memorial complex.

It has become a good tradition for newlyweds to lay flowers at this monument.

In 1999, a museum and exhibition complex was opened in the city, where, in addition to the exhibition hall, there are numerous circles for children, classes for young people, and a creative workshop. Various festivals, exhibitions, city holidays and other events are held within the walls and on the territory of the complex, which attract many spectators.

Listing the sights of Elektrostal, it is impossible not to mention the temples. There are several of them in the city: the church of St. John of Kronstadt, St. Andrew's Church, the hospital church of St. Panteleimon. Another new church is being built. In appearance, the temples look ancient, monumental, in the Novgorod style. But they were all built at the end of the 20th century.

Let there be no ancient artifacts among the sights of Elektrostal. But on the other hand, all of them are connected with the history of the city, with everyday work and military exploits of ordinary residents.
