Hey everybody,
Holy memory loss Batman
I swear to you this thing just appeared today on YouTube and I have zero recollection of this interview what so ever. It sounds like my buddy Scott Shannon and someone mentions Todd so I can't be sure if it's Sucherman or Scotts sidekick from Scott and Todd in the morning on PLJ In NY.
I played and sang Great Balls of Fire live as far back as I can remember ( it was the first 45 I ever bought) and same with Whole Lotta Love but Pretty Woman and the other songs I do not remember even knowing. One of the songs that got Wooden Nickel interested in signing us was our electric version of Whole Lotta Love. Remember TW 4 was a cover band without any real catalogue of original material. Anyone who claims I'm not a rock guy should give this a listen. I humbly admit I was impressed with this performance because it was probably done at 7:30 in the morning. I think I will listen again.
Hey everybody,
Wow! This just showed up on YouTube. I had never seen this before but coincidentally I was just asked about this very day last week by author Dave Hoekstra who interviewed me about a book he was writing. This was the last game the White Sox played in Comiskey Park which at the time was the oldest park in Major League Baseball. Because of my personal relationships with former manager Tony LaRussa and owner Jerry Reinsdorf I was asked if Styx would do it. Are you kidding. Quite an honor for a kid whose dad brought him to his first game at this very park when he was nine. My dad and I had spent countless un air conditioned hot summer days listening to the games on the transistor radio. So it was great that my parents and my family were in attendance to witness it all. I was the only Sox fan in the group. John was a Cubs fan and the other guys including John were more Blackhawk and Bears fans then baseball enthusiasts. If you needed some musician or celebrity to do this for the Cubs the line would have been a long one but the White Sox celebrity fan list was very short. In 1990 no one knew who Barack Obama was so who was left, Mayor Daley, Jessie Jackson? Side note, I've heard that in 2017 these 3 are considering forming a singing group to perform Bee Gee's covers in Vegas. "Staying aliveahiveahive".
Anyway my dad passed his love of baseball and the Sox on to me and I did the same for my son Matthew. In fact he became more dedicated then I ever was what with his season tickets and every app invented to check up on his team. As a parent you occasionally get things right. Anyway Matthew bought me a green bleacher seat and a brick from the old ballpark that I will always cherish along with the myriad of memories of time spent with my dad my friends and my family. Cheers Dennis
HAPPY BIRTHDAY one day late to my girlfriend and wife Suzanne. Love from your boyfriend and husband.
Hey everybody,
I certainly hope none of you ever discover how many times I check on you tube for my current video's or old Styx video's when I'm bored because it would be embarrassing. Or the number of times I google myself. Google has begun to send me messages
beginning Hey dude get a life. Kind of like the Lite beer commercial when Troy Aikman claims to not dwell in the past and then his ring tone goes off screaming "Aikman touchdown unbelievable".
I believe those who claim to not be interested in themselves or their past are secretly wanted for transporting illegal goods across state lines, or their lying. I mention this because this video popped up in that ever helpful or intrusive function on you tube that appears under "recommended for you". Now if one of these videos turns out to be "Sexy Sabrina and her frisky Python" trouble could be right around the corner. You know who you are.
Thankfully for me and Suzanne it was Dennis DeYoung at Manny's deli 2000 not Sabrina, Suzanne is deathly afraid of snakes
I did not post this because it shows me in the most glamorous light, quite the contrary but because I believe it demonstrates essentially who I am as a person and performer. Manny's deli was the TV station's idea not mine and when Suzanne, Carrie and I who was my publicist at the time arrived at 6 am my first thought was, I wonder if it's to late to become an aluminum siding salesman. It was clear that the early morning crowd at Manny's were clueless as to I was or why I was interrupting their breakfast. I believe that when the camera panned around the room FBI alerts were sounded causing a momentary ruckus as fugitives escaped. I made that last part up. So faced with situation I did what I always do and made the best of it. Anyone can accomplish things under the best circumstances it's the vast majority of life we must somehow manage to get through.
I had recently been replaced in the band I founded and had been given the opportunity to headline the Rosemont Theater by Tim Orchard who ran the joint.
It was much to big a venue for someone like me, capacity 4300 but Tim convinced me to play it with a 50 piece orchestra. The orchestra show was his idea and he put up all the money (a lot a scratch) convinced he would sell it out. He did not once but twice leading to our partnership for the last 15 years. So there I was at Manny's of all places trying to stir up ticket sales for a show I was convinced no one would attend. On the curb and all alone without the mighty Styx name behind me I did what I had to do, which was playing Lady of Spain on the piano in front of a bewildered bunch. Wait a minute I just realized where the idea of Lady came from..."Lady of Spain I adore you". Remember "winners are losers who got up and gave it one more try".
Tonight we end our year and play the final show of a three day run here in Epcot, the happiest place on earth. "Everyone please have a magical day". This is the fourth time Disney has hired us to perform at their Eat to the Beat international Food and Wine Festival. I'm perfect for this shindig because as my family will tell you no one "wines" more than me. Each night the venue has been filled with enthusiastic fans from all over the U.S., even with the rain last night. Thanks to all who have attended.
This year we have played 54 shows between the U.S. and Canada and that's more then I have done since the 60 plus I did the year of The Night Of The Proms, the Germany tour. Suzanne, the band and I would like to thank you all for attending our shows and helping keep alive all the wonderful songs that Styx and I have created. We feel we are the go to destination for all the Hits.
Thanks to August, Jimmy, John, Craig, Dave and Suzanne for bringing this music to all of you and allowing me the chance to view first hand the lasting impact the Styx catalog has had on so many. How this miracle has occurred is really beyond my understanding. I know the songs that I wrote, the concept albums I initiated and the theatricality of our stage shows were all simply things I made up as I went along. It's still a mystery to me how things worked out as well as they did. As I expressed in the lyrics to the Grand Illusion (as well as other songs), far too much adulation and credit has been assigned to politicians, athletes and show biz people like me who really don't know much more about the the way things work than the next guy. Unless the next guy is that dumb ass sitting behind you at the movies talking loudly to the screen, or Charles Manson. I know more than them. Once again I am grateful for your continuing support and will continue to come visit you until I begin to embarrass my family.
PS. I have just been informed I have one more show in Ft. Lauderdale in December. Just when you thought it was safe to live in Florida...
Hey everybody,
I am mad mad mad mad mad with recent accusations that our recent successes have gone to our heads. I categorically refute these specious, allegations as nothing more than a blatant attempt by my political enemies to besmirch our integrity. I blame the radical left the nutty right and the mushy middle for this nonsense. By the way do any of you know of a hat store that sells xxxxxxxxxtra large, winter's coming.
P.S. Thanks to my good friends in Florida for the big heads.
If memory serves this was the first official photo taken in 1976 of the new band. It was January or February of 1976 and it was hovering around 10 degrees. It was taken in the historic Pullman district in Roseland on the far south side of Chicago where Mr. George M. Pullman had constructed row houses for his employees to live in while they worked at the Pullman Works building his rail cars. We are standing on the porch of one of these houses which also have been declared historic landmarks. The politically incorrect fur coats were fake except for JY's which was rabbit. Imagine Bug's surprise. The coat that Tommy was wearing that day was borrowed from me seeing as how Montgomery Alabama had never seen weather like this. It was made by Suzanne for me with material given to her from her aunt Emmy. In those days a fur signified stature rather than murderer. Fake fur signified fake stature. I have donated these coats to the cast of the new hit show "Empire". They have been sent back with this note. "Get Real".
Hey everybody,
I just received the new Styx Vinyl Collection in the mail and decided to pop it open to have a look. I called the local fire department to assist me seeing as how to open anything you buy these days takes considerable ingenuity and effort. After they had gotten it open I decided to buy my own set of "Jaws of Life" for the next time I have to open something, you know like a bottle of Listerine. The child proof cap on this thing should state that this product is safe for all children under the age of 114 cause ya ain't agittin it open. Squeeze the marked sides and twist, only to realize after 72 attempts that your gingivitis and plaque will be celebrating and your breath will have to remain questionable. Buy one bottle and it will be yours for life, What would you give to have 5 minutes alone with the murdering, tamperingTylenol guy who stared all this idiotic protective packaging crap. I believe, though I could be wrong that hospital emergency rooms have invested heavily in this protective packaging. Obamacare does not cover this. But I digress.
After seeing the collection I was impressed to find that all the albums appeared to be as I had remembered them, with the exception of the laser etching on Paradise Theater. Of the four million that sold only the first million were actually etched. It was the brainchild of Jeff Ayeroff at A and M. and was awfully cool.
They contain the same lyrics and photo's as the originals including the Grand Illusion poster. In this photo under my jacket I'm wearing an A and M tee shirt to match my Robins egg blue colored saddle shoes, oh and let's not forget my fashionable little scarf ya know in case I catch cold or decide to rob a 7/11. I heard that Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn saw my getup and Gunn broke out in hives. It's a wonderful poster and the photo shoot was memorable in that I never heard anyone yelling "Blairrrrhhh more smoke at crotch level". (For those of you who do not understand the reference check out an earlier post where I discuss our first album photo shoot).
As of yet I don't know if I will make the effort to listen to these records because it would entail some work on my part to fix my turntable and stylus, connect it to an amp and speakers and find my hookah and platform shoes. Besides I know what they sound like i was there when we did them. If any of you were bold enough to get these new things let me know what you think and please do not post your prom pictures...oh go ahead!

Hey everybody,
The theme of this article concerns the regimen I go through before I perform each concert. Actually I had to make stuff up considering what I do is virtually nothing. That's me considering the playlist minutes before going on stage, (hmm should we play Don't Stop Believin or Plexiglass Toilette tonight) me adjusting Suzanne's wireless pack, ( yeah sure I am) me and the band warming up vocally, me and Jean Ravel adjusting Windsor knots and finally me singing in the shower at the hotel. Normally I do this without stage clothes but this is after all a family newspaper.
The original pic taken in the shower was hysterical but I was counseled against using it because it really represents my inner Jerry Lewis which perhaps is too silly for a "rock star."
Rock star? I may post it anyway. Thanks for all the good wishes for Christmas I read them while watching It's a Wonderful Life.
cheers, dennis
Here are some quotes from radio, TV and print translated into English by ours friends at Le Capitole. Come this spring I plan to run for president of Quebec on the Suite Madame Blue platform which promises every Quebecer a sample of me holding the long morrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre note in that song. That should cure them. Wait I have just been informed that they do not have a president and if they did I would have to have been born here and at the very least be able to order food en Francais without making hand gestures and make clucking sounds to order coq au vin. Not true I can say poulet without prompting not to mention poutine.
I am also doubling as Rick Steve's DeYoung today with some pics from my hotel room. Next I will be making you sit through some home movies of our family vacation to Starved Rock Illinois.
cheers, dennis
"The most Quebecer of all Americans delights Le Capitole."
"Quebec City loves Dennis DeYoung. And Dennis DeYoung repays it well in return."
"In sober decor lit by delicate light show, DeYoung appeared in great shape, having fun with the public and multiplying the theatrical dance steps."
Cédric Bélanger, Journal de Québec
"Denis'' is off to a good start."
"Throughout the very well-oiled and smooth-running show, we felt the great complicity which united Dennis DeYoung to his guitarists."
Ian Bussières, Le Soleil
"Mister DeYoung carries well his name. We appreciate the way he moves, the way he plays the keyboard, his impeccable voice and the quality of his repertoire. A beautiful present. "
Marie Saint-Laurent, CHOI Radio X
"It is impressive to see him on stage. At the age of 67, he has lost nothing of his voice and still masters the art to move on stage. A perfect show for nostalgic people! "
Marie-Christine Leblanc, TVA
"Seizing… stunning... astonishing…!!! Dennis DeYoung's voice is frozen in time; it forgot to age... Same for the successes of Styx. Run to see and hear this living legend!"
Brigitte Guay, CKOI
"A moving return to the past. Supported by a young energetic group, DeYoung finds the magic and energy of Styx's golden years. We sing, we shed a few tears, and we still ask for more!"
Dominic Maurais, CHOI Radio X
"At 67 years old and fitter than ever, the great Dennis DeYoung made us relive marking moments in our youth by making us travel in time. Everything was there in this well-oiled and smooth-running show. The vocal harmonies, the sound effects, the lighting effects, but especially the unique voice of this rock legend which made us vibrate, leaving us an immortal souvenir, pure Styx, what a pleasure!"
Lyne Laroche, Destination Ville de Québec
"Classics, a perfect complicity, enchanting solos... A magical evening! It's a must-see!"
Sarah Charbonneau, Expoze.TV
"It is impressive […] He has a lot of fun, he moves all the time, he is accompanied by two guitarists who give it all […] In shape, very complicit with his public, very generous!"
Patricia Tadros, ICI Radio-Canada Première
Hey everybody,
Found this on YouTube. This a trip. It's a sort of a history/discography combo apparently for the blind. Obviously the female narrator is computer generated but they did a good job, better then most I have read. One small correction, in 1999 the year which I was replaced the tour had not yet been planned so there were no commitments that needed to be fulfilled by the band. Also during the years 1984 to 1990 the band did not break up we simply went on hiatus waiting for Tommy to return.
cheers, dennis
Quebec Shows - French Website Article
Kilroy and Roboto catching up on old times. This young man whose name escapes me showed up at Epcot all 3 nights. I asked him why pray tell and he genuflected, kissed my rings and said and I quote "your eminence without the Kilroy album to guide me through life I most certainly would have given in to the temptation of becoming A Flock of Seagulls fan". (No he didn't) Actually all he said was he thought it might be fun.
Fair enough. I brought him on stage and he did the robot. I think this is on YouTube somewhere.

This is a True Story
A couple of days ago I was checking this site and I noticed that Mike Kessler a friend from way back who worked in radio among other things had posted a video by Jim Peterik who was in both The Ides Of March and Survivor. Jim is the lead singer on Vehicle and co writer of Eye of the Tiger among others and he lives no more then 4 blocks from me. The song is entitled The Spirit of Chicago. So I gave it a listen and there's Jim singing lead then someone else joins then someone else then suddenly I hear this very familiar voice and the guy sounds a lot like me. I keep listening and I turn to Suzanne who was at the stove and I say good grief this guy really sounds like me he's even got my cheesy little tricks down pat. And then the wheels start turning and I begin feeling lousy because I have prided myself in the fact that I have never heard anyone who really sounds like me, and that's job security. Suzanne has got this strange look on her face and I know she is thinking the same thing. I get to googling to see if I can find out who the hell this guy is so I can have Luca Brasi pay him a visit. Perhaps a fishing trip to northern Wisconsin. Finally I find the info and there's Jim and Cathy Richardson listed and some clown named Dennis DeYoung. Dennis DeYoung???????? What the .....turns out the guy who really sounded like me was me! I honestly cannot remember doing this vocal try as I might. I remember singing To Miss Somebody with Jim but not Spirit of Chicago. I can't tell you how relieved both Suzanne and I were to discover that it was me. We were afraid this unknown bum was a little too good. Later that afternoon I went to the store to buy some ginko biloba and some Sharp Thought. I think it's working because this morning I remember singing the lead vocal on Hey Jude. NaNaNaNaNaNa 68 is fun. cheers dennis
Hey everybody,
Well today I am on my way to Canada to begin our month long run at Le Capitole in Quebec City. No Anglo musician has ever done this many shows before and I feel honored and fortunate to have this opportunity. Meci beaucoup to eveyone in Quebec In preparing for the show I began listening to the100 Years From Now CD to refresh my memory of the French lyrics and to go over This TIme Next Year. Driving in my car and singing along I let the whole CD play start to finish, something I haven't done in quite some time. Wow is all I can say. This is by far and away my finest solo effort of original material and it reminded me of how much I loved some of these songs. The lyrics alone are worth the ride if you are interested in knowing me as a person. I get very emotional listening to Rubicon because it is as good a song as I have ever written in that classic prog rock style, I put it right behind Madame Blue. This album represents for me a return to the Styx of Equinox through Pieces of Eight period one I personally played a large part in. Of all the members I was the one most rooted in Progressive rock primarily due to my interest in Emerson Lake and Palmer and Yes. The keyboard playing was the key. It put keyboards on an equal footing with guitars, I should say nearly because the guitar is truly the instrument of Rock an Roll. The classical music influences in this genre appealed to me for they were something I had studied and played on accordion (yes there is more to accordion then polka's)so there was familiarity unlike my near zero knowledge of the Blues, upon which Rock n Roll is based. So on Rubicon, 100 Years, Rain, This TIme Next Year, Private Jones and CNN I posit that these tracks would be quite at home on those albums for 1975 thru 1978. If you have never listened to this album it would be worth your while. I actually found myself at amazon reading the customer reviews which were quite flattering. I love this CD and it reminds me of the task of trying to equal or surpass it...yikes. Once again check this album out you will not be disappointed.
I was going to send a link to youtube for Rubicon but whoever put it up has taken it down. If anyone knows how to upload to youtube a good copy please do I will appreciate it.
Anyway Le Capitole has added 3 more shows to the original ten and want two more. At this rate I will have to apply for dual citizenship, learn more French and start eating poutine.
cheers, dennis
Hey everybody,
On Halloween night at Epcot Suzanne and Isaac our head roadie had planned a trick not a treat in an attempt to try and surprise me during our final set. This is the time I usually introduce Suzanne to the audience but as you can see a much less attractive some might say scary version appeared instead. Because of the strict enforcement of the 30 minute set rule by Disney a performer such as myself( one who can blab a lot between songs) can suddenly realize he is running out off time, hence my forgetting to introduce Suzanne and moving on to the next song. John reminded me I forgot to introduce her so I unintentionally ruined their surprise. Oh goody let's trick Dennis won't that be fun.They were lucky I didn't have a stroke considering the visage I observed approaching me. Poor Issac thought I was mad at him, I was not but I was quite disappointed in his fake boobs and his depilatory issues. Afterward I recommended electrolysis and gave him a years supply of Nair. I was shocked to find he had been using both for over six months.
cheers, dennis
the fun starts around 50 seconds
Hey look it's GUITAR WORLD. Congrats to August and Jimmy you deserve all the attention you have been getting and I don't mean those pesky IRS agents.
cheers, dennis
Hey everybody,
Here is my extended family at Epcot. I enjoy these gigs because it allows my band to gather with their families to be together for three uninterrupted days of joy at the happiest place on earth, which for me would be my house with a plate of Suzannes's spaghetti and meatballs(turkey by the way) watching the Bears beating Green Bay. That last part is really pure fantasy because as long as Aaron Rogers is breathing no way. Hey look he just threw another touchdown pass against the Bears defense from the locker while soaking in the hot tub. Please all my fans up in Wisconsin feel free to still like me despite this character flaw. By the way Dave my tour manager and my entire crew are from Appleton and they all wear the green and gold, see if you can pick them out in the photo. Here's a clue. They are the ones bits of cheese at the corners of their mouths.
cheers, dennis
Hey everybody,
This was part of an interview I did for Guitar World. That's right Guitar World of which both August and Jimmy were also interviewed. I only know two chords on guitar which puts me only one chord away from challenging Buddy Guy and EricClapton to a blues guitar duel. They had better watch their step. Thanks to Jimmy Woods
Gathered around the tv in my parents home were my sister Darcy, mom and dad and a couple of friends. My friends and I were on our way to our Sunday night ritual which was the Mendel Catholic High School dance. In those days this was the place to go in our neighborhood for boys to meet girls and visa versa. I was not interested in the Beatles for I had heard the hype incessantly on the radio and I Want To Hold Your Hand and was not impressed. My friend Dave had Meet The Beatles and had bought Beatle boots, good grief. After they performed their first song All My Loving I was totally transfixed like some many of the 74 million other who saw the show. After the program we were off to Mendel to check out the bands and the girls. Exactly two Sundays later we were at the same dance trying to twist and jitterbug our way into the hearts of some of the cutest Catholic school girls on the South Side. The dances ended at 10 pm and this night like too many others my friends and I were scoreless, no dates no phone numbers nada. As we filed out onto the streets on our way to our cars we passed a group of girls. Me, Mickey Bogie, Dave Heaster,Tom Ebert and Lary Leugoud (who posts on this site often hey Lar) approached them and I was instantly taken with a gorgeous brunette who stood out like a leko was focused on her and her alone. I immediately engaged her in a conversation that seemed much too one sided, so I took her hand out of her overcoat pocket to look for a steady ring which in the those days would have meant she was taken. No ring. She pulled her hand back as though I was intruding on her space and remained aloof for the remainder of our time. Shortly afterward the girls were picked up by one of their parents but a group connection had been made and it was decided as a group we would meet at a dance the next week over at St Anthony's. We did and that night I fared much better getting the girls phone number. It was of course Suzanne. By the way she told me later that she was interested initially in one of my friends not me.So within a two week period in February of 1964 my personal and professional life was set in stone without me having the slightest clue as to what had just occurred. Amazing! I came to this realization when talk about the Beatles and 50 years and Suzanne and mine came together. The night we met was captured in the second verse of Beneath the Moon from the Boomchild album.
To my one and only true love who has been there for me through everything I say
Love, dennis
Hey everybody,
First of all thanks for all the great comments about the DVD CD it's much appreciated. I do read my facebook page.
I just returned from two shows in Missouri and a week of promotion in my second home, Quebec. The band and I had a great time at the Family Arena in St Louis a venue we played four years ago where the band with Craig and August played one of it's first shows. I rarely have the opportunity to perform in arena's but when I do this band really shines. I am reminded of the days when every night was a show in a big hall. It's exhilarating! Thanks to all those in attendance, St Louis remains a strong market for me.
My time in Montreal and Quebec City always allow me to pretend I'm Sting for a week. You know, people recognize me everywhere I go, greet me en Francais make a big deal over me and start asking me about Tantric sex. I tell them I practice frantic sex instead which is the same thing except it lasts only 10 seconds, which allows more time for hobbies. (see how silly you get when you try to be funny)
I performed on Quebec's biggest morning show "Salud Bonjour", did several radio shows, one with my buddy Terry DiMonte and countless press interviews. Once again the response to the DVD has been astonishing. I have heard over and over that this band truly captures the spirit and sound of the music of Styx so "mission accomplished". (sorry "W") The ticket sales for Le Capitole have been so good that more shows are being added. If you live in Vermont or Maine or near an airport come to Quebec City this is a great opportunity to see this wonderful city all decked out for Christmas. Plus Castle Walls, Mademoiselle, This Time Next Year and 100 Years will be rotated into most shows.
I got my first look at the DVD CD in Montreal when Eric from Universal handed me a box of them. Thanks to Frontiers for making such a beautiful package chuck full of photos and info, I fear soon these things will no longer exist and our collective heads will all be "in the clouds". Hey who put all my stuff up there. Because I was in Canada I was not able to see the AXS show until I returned home. I held my breath because I had never seen the final product and broadcast always does something to the audio mixes, it's just the nature of the beast. Hooray it was awesome. Breathe again.
The songs chosen had to fit a 52 minute format so the decisions are always tough.
The DVD has 16 songs so everything is there except Rockin the Paradise for which synch rights could not be obtained, but it rocks the cd with the great guitar duel of 1886. Of course I ran around the whole house listening to the AXS show on every one of my TV's. The Samsung in the family room needs help but I knew that because even tv programs never cut it audio wise I thought I was losing my hearing. As fate would have it the best tv in the house is up in the Master bedroom so I went there first and sure enough the picture was sightly out of synch with the music. I freaked, then I
realized that this new system from direct tv which was recently installed allow you to watch any recorded program in any tv in the house no matter where it was recorded, causes audio delay. I went to another tv and it was perfect. After two antacids and five fingers of Jack Daniels I settled down.( If you ever see me drink 5 fingers of Jack say a prayer because the end of days is upon us)
Pictures of Quebec will be coming soon.
cheers, dennis
This is an interview I gave about the new DVD CD to a London based magazine called Fireworks. Ian was a wonderful lad who encouraged me to travel to jolly old to play some shows. Nice work if you can get it and it turns out I am exactly two pints down on my bangers and chips. Go ahead now everyone let's start the banger jokes, you notice I restrained myself.
I am in Montreal as I write, my second home promoting the release and the shows at Le Capitole in December. Because of demand the promoters have threatened to add even more shows...mon Dieux I will have to get dual citizenship and buy Rosetta Stone en Francais. Maybe I should ask those promoters to go to London.
cheers, dennis
Over the years I have read that some people believe Kilroy Was Here was a rip off of Rush's album 2112. Mostly Rush fans. So today for the first time ever I looked up 2112 and read the plot line and song list(have I mentioned were in the grip of a polar vortex here and...I'm bored).
Though I have great respect for Rush I have never owned a Rush album and know them mostly from their songs that made the radio,Tom Sawyer, Fly by Night, Closer to the Heart. I was surprised to find that I didn't recognize any of the song titles on this album. I guess what I'm getting at is if there are ANY similarities between 2112 and Kilroy it's totally coincidental.
Remember great minds think alike, unfortunately so do mediocre and stupid ones.
Neill Peart who wrote the lyrics and story of 2112 based his concept on an Ayn Rand book entitled Anthem. He has since denounced his love of her writings and blamed it on the musings of his youth. I have never denounced Kilroy but I do regret not making him Chinese given the way there world has turned. Thank you very much Mr Roboto in Chinese is Fei Chang Xie xie Xiansheng Ji Qi Ren, catchy huh, on second thought.
Peart's vision of the future was about an intergalactic group of priests who utilize computers to dominate all areas of society kind of like the IRS but with zappers. On the other hand Dr. Righteous is simply a cable network owner whose part preacher and politician, though unelected. His goal is to simply ban rock music with a group of like minded anti first amendment thugs, increase his networks viewership and make himself rich. He even has his own brand of fried chicken. He's Branding)In the original draft he was a failed rock musician who'd found the righteous path, so to speak.
2112 has the Red Star of the Solar Federation and the temple of the Syrinx. Neil's thinking big thinks here while Kilroy only has little old Dr Righteous and the Majority for Musical Morality. Wimpy by comparison. Hell Rush had the whole damn galaxy no wonder their in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Rush's hero finds a guitar learns how to play it and attempts to bring back the old ways but finds resistance from you know who, the Syrinx cat's. He becomes despondent and commits suicide. Bummer.
In Kilroy Jonathan Chance has the guitar passed to him by his mentor Kilroy and vows to fight to keep rock alive. ("Damn it Kilroy")Does he succeed, who knows, but it's hopeful. However if current music trends are any indication Miley Cyrus's tongue, Lady Ga Ga's designer and Bruno Mars fancy footwork have done more to kill rock music then twenty Dr Righteous's. Face it kids Pop rules!
I could keep blabbering on here but I noticed the sun just came out and it's nearly reached 10 degrees so in conclusion, I never ever knew anything about 2112 when I came up with the Kilroy concept (it would be fun to say it was all Neil Peart's fault) and to me the similarities are oblique at best, besides if you are looking for the originators of these kinds of ideas I suggest Fritz Lang's Metropolis and of course Orwells 1984. By the ray Rush fans Syrinx...Styx...Syrinx...Styx...hmmmm I wonder. cheers, ddy
Hey everybody,
Here are some pics from our concert on Freemont Street in Las Vegas hope you like them.
Me and the band have had one heck of a year so far and were heading into our busiest July ever.
The word has spread about this band and this show which as I have said before gives Styx fans the songs and concert they have been waiting for. We have been selling out left and right which let's us know we've set the right course. You know the one for the virgin sea. Or as someone asked me recently what's a vergency.
The city of Las Vegas estimated the crowd at 2 million but that of course includes casino skimming and 1.9 million comps, oh and all the people from the canceled Sigfreid and Roy show and spill over from the Pacquiao fight. Those people were fighting mad.
This past week we played an acoustic show for radio station KHITS in Chicago on Navy Pier. The show sold out in less than 36 hours. The setting at the pier was priceless, with the lake and the skyline in full view on a perfect night. The station played The Best of Times and Mr. Roboto along with the usual suspects daily for nearly 2 months promoting the show. Thanks to Todd Cavanaugh and Eddie and Jobo for all the airplay and kind words.
Cheers, ddy

Singer Songwriter Clinton Curtis To Release Sophomore Album, 2nd Avenue Ball, on March 22nd
21st Century Rock & Roll Artist Aims to Recapture Magic of Live Sound With Sophomore RecordingCritical Praise/Success For Clinton Curtis:Holds attendance record for drawing the largest crowd to NYC downtown hotspot The Living Room.Received most fan votes on FOX's Fearless Music TV.The Album:(February 1st, 2011 - New York, NY) Key West by way of Jamaica indie singer songwriter Clinton Curtis will release his sophomore album 2nd Avenue Ball on March 22nd on label 27 Sound. Today, Clinton debuts his first single, which is the title track, via TopSpin. He is also pleased to announce the launch of CC Connect, his new fan-club, CC Radio, his website-based radio station, and his revamped website, www.ClintonCurtis.com .2nd Avenue Ball comes at a pivotal time for Curtis, who was raised in Western Jamaica by parents who were deeply embedded in the local live music scene. He recently won the most votes on FOX's Fearless Music TV and set an attendance record for drawing the largest crowd to NYC downtown hotspot The Living Room. Taught by Jamaican greats such as Gregory Isaacs and Desmond Dekker at a young age, Curtis learned how to play the bass and guitar by age 10. By 18 years of age, he moved to NYC to study acting at NYU, where he ultimately set his eyes on songwriting. He began to work with producer Matt Stine and eventually signed to indie label 27 Sound.Curtis' latest album comes on the heels of his debut Smoldering Youth, which set the stage for the sound of his widely influenced and eclectic style, which he dubs "21st century rock & roll." When creating the album, Curtis wanted to capture the "live band" energy that so often eludes musicians in a studio setting. Interestingly, the album name comes from the last track written and recorded. The track was chosen because, according to Clinton, "It really embodies the tone and spirit we were striving for which was one that conveyed the mightiness and joy of our live shows." Voicing this enthusiasm, Curtis pointed out, "If we're having this much fun cutting these tracks, people are bound to have this much fun digging them."The title single captures that energy through the story of a mythical ballroom on NYC's 2nd Avenue, where partygoers have decided to rage on the last day of civilization rather than fearfully accept their fate. With a 60's R&B feel delivered by drummer Andrew "Komplexx" Mclean, the song charges ahead with passionate irreverence, keeping mortal toes in motion for the song's entirety. Curtis mused, "I had this image in my head of all the party people in New York heading down to the East Village in a huge, mass second-line parade to a mythical grand ballroom where the band keeps playing until the roof blows off. That's the 2nd Avenue Ball."The title single is now available via an E4M (email for media) widget offered by Topspin. In addition to the single, Curtis is set to launch CC Connect, a VIP fan-club also powered by Topspin, as well as his own website and radio station.

Most people first became aware of IMAKEMADBEATS from his 2009 collaborative project The Transcontinental with Oxnard rhyme-slinger Roc C (a project that featured the likes of Oh No, Big Pooh, Rakaa Iriscience, and Chino XL), which subsequently led to the nationwide Smash Mouf Tour. In addition to the much-anticipated forthcoming Doxside Music Group self-titled debut, IMAKEMADBEATS is also unleashing his dual-EP concept album Daylight/Nightlight, featuring Butta Verses and MidaZ the Beast respectively. Also in the works are projects with Beretta 9 (Wu-Tang's Killarmy), his BlakOut album with MidaZ, an instrumental project, and more placements on projects by artists seeking the "IMAKEMADBEATS" treatment to their music.

Mazda sales are up 22 percent this year, but the company's American operation is enduring acute pain. It is in the midst of a complete, five-month reorganization while trying to raise funds and shrink its workforce. In March, Mazda announced its intention to offer voluntary buyouts to its U.S. employees, after which it would assess the plan and then lay off other workers if needed. Of the firm's 701 local workers, 107 have accepted the voluntary buyout.

There may be some truth in such thinking. "There's an adage in the field of open innovation, which is some problems are too big to leave to the experts," Spradlin said. "Very often, if the expert in a particular field could solve a problem, they would have already." So, will there be contenders from outside of healthcare? You bet.
And yet, Code-a-Palooza may continue to put the lie to this stereotype.
"You do need the people who are the subject masters to really come in and say take this data set from CMS and make it do things that really matter to healthcare," Spradlin said.
But as Spradlin reminded me, last year's winners "did not represent your father's healthcare system. They were fearless, unafraid. They had been brought up in the develop arena as well. They saw a need to do some things differently."
But just to set expectations, remember that the recently released CMS data is all about cost, not quality. The full matching set of quality data is locked up still somewhere in CMS, and since I understand the agency operates at least four separate data warehouses, it could be some time before we see a truly complete coding competition.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

In my opinion expecting our children to be totally potty trained with out accidents ever at 4 years old is unrealistic. My daugher is 3 and although she has been potty trained for 4 months I don't expect that she will always stay dry everynight for the rest of her life. She has had two accidents since she has been potty trained. But I don't think that there was every anything wrong with her having an accident.
Learning to control body functions is a skill that requires time and skill aquired over time.
There are many reasons your child has had accidents but don't start obsessing over it. Accidents are accidents and the worst part is having to clean it up and deal with the extra work.
I am not trying tobe mean or rude or disrespectful so please don't take my comments that way. This is only my opinion and how I feel about my childs potty training.
Good luch with your child and may things work out for you both.
thanks moms for your comments :) well today was a success :) no pee on the bed :) yay!! he was proud of himself too since he did it twice in a row, he wasnt liking it too much so today he woke up saying "mom, mom" i didnt pee on my bed...:D
my 5 yr old wet her bed last night acctually. i learned when she was younger you need to acctually wake them up and take them to the bathroom this gets them in the habbit of waking up at night.
but for my DD i just put a pull up on her and she goes back to bed with me

My son is 3.5 years old. He was pretty much daytime potty trained for quite some time and just stopped wearing diapers at night 4-5 months ago. He literally only had 2 accidents that first week and then not another one.....until the last 2 weeks when he has had 4 night time accidents and at least twice has peed before making it to the potty in the morning. For now I'm sure it is a phase but I'm encouraged by Fressy's comment. In my son's case I'm thinking it might be related to stress on his part. He started preschool/daycare about 2 months ago and his adjustment has not been super smooth. I think he is really a little more shaken than he lets on and as a person who internalizes everything the bed wetting thing is kind of a symptom. I know his body is capable of holding it all night even when he drinks a little right before bed because he did it for months in a row....but he is still young. I expect phases and I really don't want to add to his stress as his issues at school are far more important as a first priority so we just clean it up, clean him up and move on without much of any commotion about it at this point. If we clear up all other issues and this still continues then maybe we'll take it on as something to work on. Has your lo had anything going on that might be causing some sort of anxiety the body might be responding unconsiously to?

Enagnon 3 Group
Moudjibou (raising his hand in the photo), is the group's representative. He is 53 years old and never went to school. He is married to a seller named Raïmi. Moudjibou and Raïmi have three children, two of whom are their own children. All three children are their dependents. The couple live with their children and jointly ensure that the family needs are met.
Moudjibou has learned sewing, an activity he has been involved in for the past nineteen years, and which brings him a rather good income. In addition to this main activity, he also sells sewing threads and fabrics.
He buys his supplies in a town in Benin and in his region, and has an increasing number of customers.
In order to raise the level of his activity and to meet his customers' demand and his family's various needs, Moudjibou is requesting financial assistance from ALIDé for the first time, together with the other members of the ENAGNON 3 group. This loan will certainly help them to boost the level of their activity and to make more profits.
Additional Information
About AlidéAlidé is a Beninese NGO that works to reduce poverty by offering sustainable access to productive loans like this one in addition to savings, training sessions, and social work to low-income families.
Supporters of this loan should be aware that there is some risk of being repaid late. Because the Beninois Ministry of Finance has imposed restrictions on the amount of money Alidé can send to Kiva, the organization can only send monthly repayments in installments smaller than $13,000. This means that some Kiva lenders may receive their repayments late. However, Alidé remains a healthy institution in good standing with its creditors, and Kiva would like to continue working to support its clients. For more information, please refer to Alidé's partner profile page.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

It's not enough to say that world affairs are in a crazy state, and leave it at that -- which is exactly what I did last week in outlining how the United States is effectively boosting the spread of sharia law and the Iranian sphere of influence in the Middle East. It's easy to say this is nuts. But what do we do now?
It's time to get back to basics. And by basics, I mean getting back to First Term W, back to when the president's strategy to defend and protect the United States was to take military action against terrorists and the nations that sponsor them. By unfortunate contrast, the security strategy of Second Term W is best described as bringing to these same terrorists and the nations that sponsor them universal suffrage. Getting back to Bush basics requires a re-reckoning of what and why we fight -- and, just as important, for what and why we don't fight.
Do we fight to spread democracy? Or do we fight to stop jihad? Far better to fight to stop jihad. Second Term W believes democratic principles will neutralize jihad -- a.k.a. "extremism" in the strangled parlance of political correctness. It may not be polite to notice, but the nasty reality is that jihad is neutralizing democratic principles. The fact the administration must reckon with is that the concept of human rights -- the ideal of liberty and justice for all -- isn't a natural byproduct of majority rule. Islamic terrorists still support Islamic terrorism, even when, as in the Palestinian Authority or Lebanon, they are democratically elected; and Islamic sharia erodes human rights, even when, as in Afghanistan and likely Iraq, it is implicitly mandated by a constitution.
It's time for the administration to consider the possibility that the democractic process alone -- constitutions, legislatures, ballot boxes -- doesn't result in Jeffersonian democracy. Such a re-reckoning doesn't mean abandoning Iraq. But it does mean reordering our goals. Forget the Iraqi constitution for now. More important is a single-minded effort to eradicate the death squads that destabilize the country and threaten to exhaust our staying power. In getting back to Bush basics, that means taking action against the nations that sponsor these terrorists: Iran, for instance.

Eheheh already downloading finally, In this momento only eur store have it but that its not a problem for us or jp users. Sceeco Have already posted the link in the forum so go for it.
Time to see if it is really as good as it seems.
its out in US PSN (as of 10:00 PST)
Out on the UK PSN and it works with 1.82!
pah! looks like im gonna have to move up from fw 1.50 now:/
How is it? give me something!
Ohhh so its a female warrior! I would love to play that demo. Very similar to Kratos from God of War, so imma check it out by tonight!
just finished downloading and played the demo. demo is very short if you are good at beat-em-up games, otherwise you get to play longer by getting your ass kicked in.
Graphics is excellent and you can see realtime background generated by the ps3. the cut scenes are so realistic and so close to real people.
gameplay is not about "BUTTON MASHING" it's about technique and combo system to break an enemy's block then hit them. you can counter attacks and auto block if you time your moves right.
My mind is made up after the demo, Im just waiting till mid September for it to release and Ill snap it up. 10/10. :-)
LOL, yes I played for a while gettin my ass kicked. Nice game if you like GOW u gonna like this.
Have anyone play this under 1.82? It doesn't seem to work in 1.51. It say that I have to update the firmware but I rather wait which firmware will pass by.

I have no idea who she is so I'm going to just call this hot mess "Courtney Love II".
She looks perfectly normal.
Her name translates as "Peaceful Sweating" right?
Wow, that is honestly the wittiest thing I've read in a while.
Huerta translates as "orchard."
Trivia: You can insert the word "drunk" after Paz De La Huerta's name anywhere on this site and be perfectly accurate.
Anchor baby? Not it.
This is your brain on drugs. Signed, 1980s PSAs.
She appears to be wearing a bra so I'm sure that she's at least somewhat sober here.
I love this crazy bitch.
I had that same statement in my wedding vows.
Her eyes are disappearing.
They're remaking the Excorcist? I don't think I'll be seeing this one, it looks WAY too scary!
I'm "Huerta" just looking at her.
I always thought the floater they autopsied in Silence of the Lambs was just a prop.
Smoking during pregnancy is one thing. Smoking during labor is another.
"Huerta fuck am I?"
"Huerta hell did my career go?"
This bitch is higher than a sprayed roach.
She isn't pregnant, right? And if she is, they're not going to let her actually leave the hospital with the infant in her custody, right?
God bless America.. Some rich asshole knocked up this insane idiot because she's " famous".
Paz de la Huerta is the first known case of audlt on-set fetal alcohol syndrome.
SOme pics of Spaz in England about 10 days ago. Either she is pregnant, or her liver is ready to explode.

Radical Islam Grows among Iraq's Sunnis
Dan Murphy writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
Sheikh Mahdi Ahmed al-Sumaidi was detained in Abu Ghraib prison early this year after a weapons cache was found in his Ibn Taymiyyah mosque. Since released, his anti-US fervor is undiminished. "Neither the occupation forces nor the government they installed is acceptable,'' he says. "The legitimate power is the resistance."
Even so, he is grateful for the US invasion. "God uses many tools,'' he says. "America's brutality has caused many to understand that Islam is the answer to our problems. The only solution is Islamic government."
Sheikh Sumaidi is one of a cadre of Sunni preachers whose star has risen sharply in the past year. No longer constrained or exiled by a repressive regime, they are preaching jihad at key mosques and pushing to make Iraq an Islamic state.
They are still on the fringes of mainstream Sunni practice here. But amid almost daily firefights in the Sunni Triangle, these radical preachers are emerging as the principal Sunni rallying point.
"The Islamists are growing up very quickly among the frustrated and disadvantaged,'' says Sadoun al-Dulame, who runs the Iraq Center for Research and Strategic Studies in Baghdad. "All the violence is allowing extremists to mobilize and try to monopolize political space."
The preachers' opponents call them Wahhabis, after the dominant religious ideology of Saudi Arabia. But many prefer to refer themselves as salafy, which emphasizes their desire to return the Islamic world to the practices that prevailed at the time of Mohammad, which they see as a golden age. While the US project was to mold a secular Iraq friendly to the West, the salafys' religious beliefs are not far from Al Qaeda's.
Now, they're playing an increasingly visible political role. When hostages are taken, diplomats quietly contact them, hoping they can secure their release. When interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi wants to negotiate with insurgents in the war-torn town of Fallujah, now in the hands of Sunni jihadis, he goes through their mosques. And increasingly, when young Iraqi Sunnis seek guidance in dealing with a dislocating and fraught time in their lives, they turn to these mosques.
A receptive ear
Hussein al-Khaisi, who runs a small shop selling nuts and dates in Baghdad, is one of scores of Iraqi men whose faith has deepened since the US invasion, and he's now a regular attendant at the small An Nur mosque in Baghdad. "During the US invasion, I saw so much chaos and death that I turned to God,'' he says. "Now there is so much corruption and violence that we need an Islamic government according to sharia. That would stop a lot of the suffering we have now."
Sheikh Ayad Ahmed al-Jubari runs the An Nur mosque and says attendance has grown since the invasion, which he says has helped Iraqis see the truth of Islam. He's also been freer to speak his mind - the regime of Saddam Hussein closely controlled political activity at Iraq's mosques. He says ongoing fighting in the Sunni triangle has drawn more people into his circle.
"The Americans wanted to make Fallujah into a place of terror, but God wanted it to be a place to strengthen the resistance,'' says Sheikh Jubari, who goes on to say that Fallujah is now a place of near-miracles. He says the blood of men "martyred" in the fight against the US smells like perfume and that, somehow, insurgents' weapons seemed to never run out of bullets during the April fighting.
Sheikh Jubari also praises the beheadings of "spies" - like Korean translator Kim Sun Il last month - and says it's appropriate to stage attacks on anyone connected with the US.
Mr. Dulame says it's a mistake to focus exclusively on Sunni groups - pointing out that Shiite religious movements like Moqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army have used murder and intimidation as well.
But most of the insurgent activity inside Iraq - be it car- bombings of police stations, assassinations of top Iraqi officials, or the gun battle between US soldiers and insurgents early Sunday in the town of Buhriz that left 13 insurgents dead - is now conducted by Sunnis, many radicalized during 17 months of fighting with US forces. …

Health saves $3m
Tevita Vuibau
Wednesday, November 28, 2012
The Health Ministry has saved $3million this year — thanks to improved procurement, storage and distribution of drugs and medication.
Drugs held in stock at the Fiji Pharmaceutical Centre in 2008 were valued at as much as $10m but best practices by the health sector has reduced that to $6m.
"We have made dramatic improvements this year by reducing the expiry and wastage of medications and drugs around the country," Health Minister Doctor Neil Sharma said.
He also said the ministry had moved away from using originated drugs to generic drugs.
"The United States of America uses 40 per cent of its medication from India and these are good generics. The health ministry is determined in making sure that world class drugs and medicines are also accessible to all Fijians," Dr Sharma said.
He said while these cost-saving measures were successful because of new practices implemented — the purchasing of new technology had contributed to the ministry's health programs.
Dr Sharma said adopting new and improved processes and standards in health clinics around the country had improved the performance of personnel and the quality of services.
"For now, we are in the process of purchasing Computed Axial Tomography (CAT) scanners for the Central Division, liquid cytology equipment as well as efficient ways of screening cancer patients. For the ministry, purchasing these equipment means that Fijians don't have to travel outside the country to access world class health services and facilities," he said.

Breaking news, folks. Jon Hamm appears to be going commando. Again.
The 42-year-old actor was spotted walking around the Mad Men set on Thursday, Nov. 7, in Los Angeles and opted to skip his underwear for this particular wardrobe choice and scene.
The always dapper star, who portrays Don Draper on the AMC hit series, was sporting light gray formfitting dress pants, which, if we're being frank, showed off his package.
Accompanying the slacks, he wore a white crisp dress shirt, a black tie and a black belt. His hair was slicked back and he was holding his phone.
NEWS: Jon Hamm on the Pop Culture Obsession With His Crotch: "They're Called 'Privates' for a Reason"
Hamm is well aware of the public's fascination surrounding his crotch and sounded off about the paparazzi's obsession with it in the March 2013 issue of Rolling Stone. He admits to being a little irked by the pics of his family jewels, which not only give the impression he doesn't go in for undergarments, but has also spawned its own web memes.
"Most of it's tongue-in-cheek, but it is a little rude," he told the mag. "It just speaks to a broader freedom that people feel like they have—a prurience."
"They're called 'privates' for a reason," Hamm continued. "I'm wearing pants, for f--k's sake. Lay off."
While the constant talk about his private parts isn't his cup of tea, Hamm is trying not to let it go to his head, though he did call it a downside to fame.
"I mean, it's not like I'm a f---king lead miner. There are harder jobs in the world," he said. "But when people feel the freedom to create Tumblr accounts about my c--k, I feel like that wasn't part of the deal."
