ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!! Jonathan- what a riot!!! That was definately the funniest thing I have read this morning!

Do you honestly believe every shred of what Dennis has said is gospel? Come ON!!! You have Tommy, JY, CHUCK, Glen, Todd, AND many members of Styx' extended family (managment, engineers, road crew etc) on one side here...and on the other side? Just Dennis. Surely there has to be a reason for this. WHY would CHUCK- one of the two people that founded the band Dennis asked to join) be out on the road with these "liars" as you call them? Dennis would like you to believe he's retired, but Chuck DOES go out on the road when he wants to and performs with STYX. Don't deny it.. he was just in Atlantic City 2 weeks ago where i MET HIM on 2 or 3 occasions, as well as in Conecticut and Verona NY. Not to mention the half dozen appearances he made during last year's tour. Why is he supporting Styx? Maybe it's because there is more going on than what Dennis is telling you. According to JY in a recent interview: "Young, who joined the group in 1970, says he doesn't want to trade accusations with DeYoung, but says there are two sides to every story. "I can't help what impression people are forming, I can only say no one else in the band is chiming in to agree with Dennis," he says. "All our star employees are with me and Tommy at this time, so that should say
something to people"



Further on Dennis said "We had a democracy, but I was the president".

Well, maybe the BAND decided it needed a new president. It sounded to me like Dennis was more like the head of a dictatorship. Perhaps they wanted do do things differently than PRESIDENT DENNIS. Hence his situation.

I have not heard ONE disparaging remark from TOMMY about Dennis, because he has too much class and respect for himself and Dennis (and the STYX name) to tarnish any of their reputations in the press. Dennis on the other hand has a big mouth and doesn't know when to close it.

Some things are better left unsaid. They don't help the situation any, so why start trouble. I guess Mr. DeYoung wants to alienate ALL his fans. Well, I can tell you, he's doing a pretty good job! Keep it up!
