Rosemont, as in the instruments?  We use a ton of those in the chemical industry.  Very common here. 
Rosemont, IL. 

I once saw Nine Inch Nails at the old Rosemont Horizon venue. It's probably still there, but I don't know what it's called today.

Allstate Arena is still there, but the actual Allstate campus is completely knocked down now. They pulled out of Illinois. Shocking, I'm sure. They are headquartered in Texas. Shocking, I'm sure.

No word on what the Arena will be called next.

Anyway, do you remember the construction incident, when the roof collapsed and killed workers?

I went to the first concert ever held there. They were selling replica hard hats.

Ted Nugent and some band I never heard of, called Def Leppard.

My uncle was in a locally popular band, decided not to go straight to college, and make it as a drummer.  He said Nugent and his band needed to do a sound check in a studio they were in, so they were pushed aside.  He said seeing Cliff Davies play on my uncles crappy drum set and sound better made him decide to go to college

Lulz.  Reggie Bush's family and estate were already well compensated for his time at USC.

I was about to say "why the hell would he do this when he's on FOX as an analyst?!"

Didn't realize he didn't get a new contract and he's out in the wilderness now. 

Did he already spend ALL of his money?

I dunno, sounds like Reggie might have been a bit of a prima donna with his contract and they simply didn't want to pay whatever he was asking... https://www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-football/news/reggie-bush-fox-big-noon-kickoff-pregame-show-change-2023/5bcaa8f341dfd75f2c40f7dc

Now, bringing on Mark Ingram might or might not be a mistake. I haven't watched FOX much... For better or worse I'm still a Gameday guy. But moving on from Bush if he wasn't worth what he's asking for is smart even the decision of who replaced him was good or bad.
