Nothing like a little self promotion. If you want to praise someone or something, praise the band. Their the ones that write and perform the music, not the manager. Is this guy full of himself? If not, he makes look like it by sending out this email.
They're inducting Charlie into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame because of his accomplishments over a long period of time, with a variety of different bands and in no small part because of his long career in concert promotion in that part of the world. Styx is but one small part of that.
I lived in Atlanta from 1983 until 1995, and Brusco Barr Associates was a very imprtant part of the local scene. Of course Brusco also managed the rise of Collective Soul. Back when I was playing the Atlanta scene in a band called Roots of Consciousness, they were still called Marching Two Step and Ed Roland was still working a day job as an engineer in a tiny little studio. He produced a record for some friends of ours called The Wishing Wall.
To clarify, Charlie sent this out to his email list with the press release attached so that friends of his in the business could attend the event if they wanted to. I chose to re-print the release because I have such a huge Styx fan interest. Simple as that. The original release had a different title, and I re-titled it to slant toward the kind of content that is the focus of my site.
