How weird is this? Dennis & Glen will be playing at the Taste of Chicago on July 9th, this concert is sponsored by the Chicago radio station The Loop.

Well, the same radio station is sponsoring a FREE Styx show in Chicago at the Hard Rock Cafe on June 12th.

I'm not even going to go into how many tickets are available for each event.

BUT I will make the comment about the "promo" picture that is being used for the Styx show. I find that very interesting.

I remember when DDY left the band that people were up in arms about pictures showing Styx with him as promotion for shows. I think the same thing applies to this as applies to that. No, Glen is not rejoining Styx. No, Styx didn't try to mislead people that DDY was still with the band. The simple fact is that these radio stations and promoters have outdated photos! It is that simple!

Sorry to be a bi*** on this one, but nope, they don't have an outdated photo. In fact, when the current line-up was sponsored last time by the very same radio station, they had very nice current promo pictures.

You know what song I haven't heard in a quite a while is "Games People Play", I love that song

By the way for those that don't know, care or don't care, Dennis and JY are both good friends with the people at the Loop.

Right, because Styx has so much to benefit by using a picture of Glen to promote their gigs...

Maybe someone told the radio guy that was what Ricky actually looks like when his hair is out of his face.

This is an outrage. Glen should sue.

Not to break anyone's heart, but a quick email right after this posted to the webmaster about the bad pic resulted in this...

Any chance of using a current picture of Styx in promoting the Private
Styx Show? Glen Burtnik (Pictured) left Styx 3 years ago and is playing
with Dennis DeYoung at the Taste of Chicago on July 9th.

Thought you should know. I am sure you know the history of the band and
how some get upset at stuff like this.
