Lord knows, I have done my own share of moaning.

That statement from JY qualifies as the understatement of the century.

Unless, of course, it is compared to many of the forum members here.

JY has toned down the rhetoric, and the bravado, considerably of late.

It is always interesting to me that titles and reference points is so many of these articles are almost always DDY penned songs.
This one is no exception.

Bugsy

You're right about that, and I guess that's what has been bugging JY all these years. But attacking DDY didn't change that, so maybe he's starting to wise up. If these guys could get beyond this pettiness and tour again as the real Styx, I would definitely go see them.

Well, there's an incentive if I ever heard one.

"Styx guitarist James Young says the song has cropped up in episodes of “The Simpsons,” “Scrubs” and “Sex and the City.”

Anybody got Youtube links? Never heard of these before and I'm a Simpsons fan.
"Sex and the City" God, that Parker chick's butt ugly!
