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.

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.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023, 11:21amIs there a word that simultaneously means hilarity and pity?

Re: So what's your concert schedule looking like?
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.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023, 11:31amAn audience that either has type 2 diabetes or will acquire it later in life.WestwayKid wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023, 11:25amI've heard them at our local summer festival and it's everything you would imagine it to be, but they definitely have an audience.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023, 11:21amIs there a word that simultaneously means hilarity and pity?

I'm okay with making that part of the punishment for war criminals.

Re: So what's your concert schedule looking like?
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.revbob wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023, 12:07pmI didn't know Gary Richrath was 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.
