It seems like the 1970s hitmakers never stop touring. With songs like "YMCA," "In the Navy," "Macho Man," "Hot Cop," "San Francisco" and "Go West" the dancing dudes -- Chad Freeman, Cowboy; James Kwong, Construction Worker; Jeffrey Lippold, Leather Man; Victor Willis, the Cop, and the only original member remaining; Angel Morales, the Indian; and James Lee, Soldier/Sailor -- are wrapping up a world tour that took them to Australia, the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain, as well as dates around the U.S., including Hot Springs. They have three more shows in Chicago before taking a break.
