I know it's hard to feel anything but loss at the point you're at, but I found myself thanking any girl who dumped me (and all those who never gave me a chance) when I got into my present relationship. So grieve all you need to, kiddo. Then go find the next good thing, right? Yea, but this one was really hard - he says it might have been the first one he realli loved :( >>>>Secondish, this wasn't the first time Styx went on without Dennis DeYoung, que no? He essentially broke up the band the first time over that whole rock opera thing (I know you guys are fans, but I just sort of like Styx-consequently, I simply cannot sit through a song like "Mr. Roboto".). I Yeah, he especially pissed off Tommy Shaw the most, cos he went out and joined Damn Yankees, so they had to hire Glen Burtnik in his place. (Mr.Roboto is actually my second fave, under Come Sail Away)Have you heard any of the newer recordings, with Lawrence Gowan filling in for him? They sound uncannily(is that a word?) alike. >>>>A lot of times, these things do work out for the better. I thought it was the prunes when The Jam broke up, but then Paul Weller formed The Style Council...-Depon>P.S. Don't think I'm coming down on Dennis D too hard. My personal favorite Styx song is "Grand Illusion." I like the album (first Styx record I ever bought), but from where Im sitting, that song is the jewel of their repertoire! Right on!
