Dear John I knew you
About as well as anyone
We were the wild ones
So sure those days would never end
Now they're only memories my friend
Dear John I'll see you
Some day again
I swear I saw you
On a crowded street today
I almost called your name
Thinking of all those yesterdays
Heaven help me
How I miss my friend
Dear John I'll see you
Some day again
There'll be a celebration
When all will be revealed
We'll have a reunion
High on a hill
Dear John how are you
God know it's heaven where you are
Find some peace there
May it never end
Dear John my heart knows
We'll meet again
Dear John I'll see you....
Some day again
Im sure if John we here today we would not have this Styx mess that we are in . he would have never let it happen.
I remember hearing of John's passing on the radio news and feeling bad about it...I can tell he was a wonderful person by the way he was enjoying himself through his performances....
If the interviews are to be believed it was the lack of touring and band activity that led to his drink problems, so do you think he would have stayed with Dennis and gone down that road, I don't think so!!
IMO what the current line up is doing would have been right down Johns street, constant touring, heavy sound etc plus being with his brother during his illness.

That seems to be C. Panozzo's view as well. I haven't seen him show up at any DDY concerts.
I have seen him at Styx shows and involved in each new Styx album as well as included in album photos.

Right the lack of touring turned him in to a drunk
Thats probably the stupidist thing I have ever heard
And Styx NH runs with it
My God are we stupid today,.

From what I understand, they have to acknowledge that they have a problem, and go from there. It's nothing that anyone else can fix. That's just what I've been told; I certainly have no expertise here.

Still looking for my post that says I believed John turned to drinking because he wasn't touring...
You're an ass

You are seeing things.
Why don't you scroll up and see what I've said.
Other than calling you an ass, the only thing I've posted is two links about John's passing

The purpose was, I believe, to stop and remember John on the anniversary of his death. We did that for a while, before it turned into deciding whose side John would have been on had he lived, and why he was an alcoholic.
So in the end, a thread that was meant to be a tribute to John ends up ( in my opinion ) totally disrespecting him.![]()

Carry on, I guess.....the damage is already done.
