light shining musical
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.
thinking crowds audience
I don't know, I think the crowds are even more responsive now because the audiences are skewing younger.
pace littles energy
I don't quite have the energy for extra curricular activities. I have to pace myself a little bit more.
play stage
I'll play until they have to scrape me off the stage.
years care styx
Ten years ago, in 94, we thought maybe nobody would ever care about Styx again.
joy
The live concerts are still one of the two greatest joys of my life.
country past four
You know the puritan ethic that started out four centuries ago in this country, needless to say - at least for the moment - a thing of the past - from what I can tell.
chicago stills studios
The studio that we mix in is still in Chicago.
navy use village
The Westgate Landfill is zoned for residential use. It's near a planned village. The Navy has a capping plan for the site, but it's not consistent with residential use for the site.
men
I take the stage as a man in his fifties and walk off the stage like a man in his twenties.
strong marijuana thinking
We always got a strong response but I think in this day in age there is less of a marijuana fog at concerts and more of people just more naturally exuberant - it seems to me.
player years piano
We're gonna release a studio album probably a year from now and we've got these recordings that we did with Coco Taylor and Johnny Johnson, who was Chuck Berry's piano player.
art perspective may
Originality is another criterion of aesthetic value. We may formulate an originality principle, according to which highly valuable works of art provide hitherto unavailable insights.... Notice that, although originality is a necessary condition of high aesthetic value, it is far from a sufficient condition. Many original works have little or no aesthetic value. An artwork may present a novel but uninteresting perspective, or one that is original but wrong.
sorry
We live in a litigious society, and that's the way it is. Better safe than sorry.
