I hope they are not proud of this song. What's next a Beastie Boys cover?

Then they could do a rap\rock song with them just like Aerosmith did with RUN-DMC! Like a rap\rock version of Blue Collar Man. That will put them back on the map!

I like the way you are thinking Boomer.
Though they are more on the map than ever already,visiting every town and city and have done so for years.
But BCM with the Beastie Boys and hitting big time again,all without the help of Dennis.
Way to go boys.
Dennis would maybe be the host of the "New Lawrence Welk Show',with his great mass appeal.
Dancing chimpanzees anybody.?
The Tuba King,The 3 Kazoos ?
The couple who had been married for 125 years.
Everybody will be happy.

There you go, everybody needs to hear yet another version of BCM. Dennis having his own regular TV show would be great. In fact, he could be in front of more viewers then current Styx would be even if they performed 7 days a week 365 days a year. Dennis would even have a lower overhead which means it would more then likely have higher profits then touring. To catch up TS and JY would have to expand the Styx jewelry line. Since they would be doing a thing with the Beastie Boys maybe they could add some rapper style inspired offerings. Why they could even reduce their overhead by getting a DJ to replace all the replacement members (or employees). Sounds like a gr8 plan to me.

No.This Dennis show would be on once every 6 months,in closed circuit, shown for prison inmates in the Chicago area only .
All inmates will receive Finesse loot bags.

The the loot bags wouldn't work b\c it would be considered contraband. However, if DDY had his own exclusive coffee blend like Styx does then it may work out. Hell, prison shows did wonders for Johnny Cash's career so it may do the same for Dennis. I really think you need to forward this idea to him.

I did,and you know Dennis is a little headstrong,would have none of that.
He is a Finesse man through and through.
The funnyman he is ,said 'You wouldn't want to wash your hair and lather yourself up in coffee'.
And we laughed and laughed.

Now I know you are spreading a little BS here. The guy wears a hair piece and that shit doesn't need shampooed.
Now Tommy on the other hand being the thrifty person he is married his hair dresser. That way he could save a few bucks on haircuts.

Too funny,but ironically that makes Tommy and Dennis more alike, than not.
Tommy don't need to go to the hairdresser,because he married one.
Dennis don't need to go, because he's got a wig.
Both are saving the big bucks.
