"permanently pause"
A pause is stopping for a short period of time, right? And to permanently stop for a short period of time makes no sense.

Not really being a country music person, Poco's 1989 album Legacy has always been a bit of an outlier in my music collection. I always felt that is a really under appreciated album.
