I don’t know how I would’ve made it through my day without this story. I thought LC had a new pizza on the horizon. Come to think of it, I’ll stick with my local pizza joint anyways.
Everyone’s a critic. Frankly, blame me. I am a fan of the band and Ron Young’s voice.

Little Caesar’s a great band. If you don’t like them, why bother to click on the story?
Looks like we found the other fan of this band.
I never heard of them – that’s why I clicked on. I’m sure sorry a little pizza joke was so blatantly offensive. I keep forgetting we’re living in the super politically correct no wisecracks allowed society. Wow, a pizza joke offended. Really??? You guys were offended by that???
I wasn’t offended. Just wondering why you would take the time to read an article about a band, then comment on said article, and not even like the band.
Little Caesar has plenty of fans and should have more if people would give a listen. One of the best singers in the business. Love his band he had with Tommy Aldridge called Manic Eden. Hopefully Little Caesar will be on the MORC soon or at a festival so people on the east coast will get a chance to see them. Looking forward to hearing more from the band.
um … who cares
Feel better now? Why even bother reading or commenting about it? Personally, I don’t waste my time on bands that do not interest me.
Here’s another fact you probably wouldn’t care about either, Ron Young, is not only a really good singer, but one of nicest people in the industry.
