Loggins’ This is It! His Final Tour comes to YouTube Theater in Inglewood on Oct. 27 and Yaamava’ Theater in Highland on Oct. 29.
Kenny Loggins will bring his This is It! His Final Tour to YouTube Theater in Inglewood on Oct. 27 and Yaamava’ Theater in Highland on Oct. 29. He’s been at this music career for half a century, after all, writing hit songs since the early 1970s as half of Loggins & Messina, followed by a huge run of solo success in the 1980s, an electric period that included several monster soundtrack hits.
“For me, I want to pull in songs, deep cuts, that have some emotional meaning for me, something that I connect to and want to convey with that song,” he said. “I’m pulling in ‘Keep the Fire,’ or ‘It’s About Time,’ a song co-written with Michael McDonald. Those have a lot of emotional connection for me. So I pick the songs that I really relate to. Luckily, I have a life’s worth of songs that come from the heart.
The film, he said, “was the beginning of my end run around disco. That album kept me alive and viable as an artist for maybe six or seven years. That was a good idea. One of the bad ideas is that during that period of time, I had hits with other people and the thought was that ‘as long as he doesn’t write ‘em or produce ‘em, we can have hits with him.’ Labels wanted to use outside producers, and my biggest hit, ‘Footloose,’ was created by me.
“Absolutely in this culture, where we fixate so much on the new and the young, we forget artists that’ve been out there a while and who know what they’re doing,” he said. “We as a culture drop attention toward those people. Madison Avenue will tell you that if you put ‘new’ on a box, it’ll sell more. That’s the nature of culture and part of the fun of rock ‘n’ roll. I’m not about that, it’s just the nature of things.
