I've been listening to Styx a lot lately and I've noticed that they're really annoying and pretty stupid. The music is great (until 1985), but they are idiots when it comes to talking at shows. It's just some of the cheesiest dialogue.
They try to announce their songs by some sort of clever banter and it just plain fails. Case in point. The song is great (kind of cheesy) and Tommy Shaw is just a bit of a dumb ass. I'm sure everyone was cringing in embarrassment.
Now, I know most front men in bands say some pretty stupid things. Pete Townshend has admitted publicly that he hates when Roger Daltrey talks onstage because he thinks he sounds like an idiot. I think people would do better to just keep their mouths shut and play some music. I've only heard a few musicians sound intelligent or funny when introducing a song.
I still love Styx.

Ian Anderson was pretty hilarious and not dumb... it wasn't his fault that we were fighting nausea from Miss B.O. when he was speeching on stage.
Way to cram all of your blog posts in the last week. At least you met your quota!
