Im not planning to go but the Cure are doing 3 nights at MSG. 3 nights?
Goths, man
And they are only doing one night at Fiddler's Green in suburban Denver, which I believe only holds about 5,000? And when I was a kid, Denver was a HUGE Cure town. That was surprising to me. Not coming to the 'Jortsville, of course.
Maybe they could get a gig in the jortsville of they agreed to open for a Styx cover band or something
Fun fact: The demand for quality Styx cover bands is so great in Missouri that state law requires registration and proof of ability by playing a medley of “Come Sail Away,” “Snowblind,” and “Mr. Roboto” before a committee made up of the governor, Jiffy Lube employees, and death row inmates.
Not quite Styx related, but there is a guy who lives in my hometown (it's not a big town at all, in fact, I walked my dog past the dude's house last night) who was the singer for ex-REO Speedwagon guitarist Gary Richrath's post REO band. He now fronts a Gary Richrath tribute band and plays Milwaukee area festivals.

I've heard them at our local summer festival and it's everything you would imagine it to be, but they definitely have an audience.

An audience that either has type 2 diabetes or will acquire it later in life.

We have 2 large festivals every summer. The 4th of July and then something called "Village Days" in August. They set up stages in the town center and it's 3 days of cover bands (that I can hear from my front yard). Nobody should have to hear 3 different bands cover "Lady" by Styx over the course of a weekend.

I'm okay with making that part of the punishment for war criminals. Don't do the genocide if you can't handle "Too Much Time On My Hands" by Forever DeYoung: A Styx Odyssey.

I was going to make a smart ass remark that 3:13 was the average length of time a non-REO fan could tolerate their music, but it appears it's a reference to his late brother.

No way I could put up with much more than 13 seconds, not without bloodshed.

I guess anyone can be considered legendary.

It looks like REO is mostly intact from their "golden" days... with the 2 newest members having joined in 1989.

There is nothing redeeming about Styx. They have several crimes against humanity to atone for. I truly hate Angry Young Man, with it's obnoxious synth sounds and DeYoung's whiny voice.

Just a terrible, terrible band. Can’t even be semi-enjoyed ironically.
