And in an era where radio stations that are inclined to play Styx music are your classic rock stations and the stations that play current music look at us as dinosaurs - the only way we could reach people with our new music, generally, is to perform live.

I'll play until they have to scrape me off the stage.

I guess I should be more ambitious about practicing, but when I'm out on the road, that's about all I do.

Ten years ago, in 94, we thought maybe nobody would ever care about Styx again.

There are a lot of people using technology that are playing to a click with backing vocals already stuck in there on some computerized thing that runs along in time to the show so they have these amazing vocals that are only partly the guys on stage producing them at the time.

People tell us they have been inspired by our music to do great things.

And I said - Styx - as a musical group it is our place to reflect the light that is shining on us back onto this place and say - this is where so much great stuff started.
