New Tommy Shaw Interview

[bugsymalone]

I think the fact that Dennis recently had a platinum+ album in Canada may have a LITTLE bit to do with it. That and, when shows like Canadian Idol and Star Acadamie are looking for guests, they're not exactly knocking on "New Styx" or Lawrence Gowan's door.

I think all of you discussed all of the finer points, in my absence, regarding the earlier questions that I had for Kip. I enjoyed the spirited, yet civilized (for a change) responses.
I just wanted to say one more thing about the remark above--we don't really know who has been approached to appear on Canadian Idol, or why. If Sass Jordan had anything to do with it, I would imagine that Styx and/or Gowan may have been on their list, as she appeared in concert with them in 2001 and is apparently a friend of Tommy and Jeanne. However, we really have no idea (unless there is someone here who works for Canadian Idol or Star Academie), which musicians may have been contacted by the show.

Nope. We do not know who was contacted or on a list. We just know who made the cut.

Or accepted the offer.

Or wasn't busy.

but the odds of "New Styx" turning DOWN a chance to appear on Canadian Idol are about as strong as those of Temple University winning the NCAA Division I National Football Championship this year.
