You don't want any part of me, trust me. I'll kick you ass

Nice Grammar Dickless

Coming from I assume a PhD...

Go fuck yourself. (How's that for grammar?)

Ooh your a fucking riot....no wonder you've gone through so many men.

At least she's not a moron who doesn't know the difference between your and you're.

Well, to be fair, I have mis-typed a few times. One time, I even typed "is" instead of "are" when I was CERTAIN the subject of the sentence was "group" and not "fans" or...something like that. Who can remember after all this popcorn!

The Internet is educational - Today I learned that liberal use of the word "fuck" makes even the most idiotic sentences have more syllables.

[gr8dane]

Idiotic, untrue statements like this really piss me off.

Good. That really is the point of this board Dan.

Don't know who Dan is. Who the fuck are you making your first post?

I once had a first post too.
I wonder what rajah's first post said.?

You'll have to be more specific. Which identity are you talking about?

Ooh your a fucking riot....no wonder you've gone through so many men.

Wha,,,Are you a peeping Tom?

[Skates]

Haberdasher vs. Chowmeinhall.

Haberdasher...ha!

My money's still on Chris in Orlando, tho.

Ah Zan...

You know I still love you. Chow and I will tag team on this one though.

As far as grammar goes, better. As far as you having a dick...

[Skates]

Chow,

He's not worth it. Really and truly he's not. He just thinks in this personality that he is.

Chow,

I know. I've dealt with him as Dan the Man, some dude from Eastern Europe, and various other screen names. I'm just going to keep defending my friends and hopefully we'll get a new screen name from him soon. Maybe we'll get a nice personality one of these days

[Skates]

Yeah, I know. It's sad when your personalities are your friends.

[Rowdy]

Yeah, I know. It's sad when your personalities are your friends.

Well, when the guys in white coats show up, after they punch him in the snot box, he can apply for a group rate at the Assylum.

We taped the show earlier today. I think it went very, very well. Gowan was hysterical, true to his reputation. I wish some of our off air banter would air, but what DOES air will be cool enough I hope. If it edits the way it went down, I think Gowan will play me on with a snippet Queen's "Somebody To Love" in which he changed the lyric to reference my book, which made me burst out laughing.

When JY came on, which was while we were off air, the host said, "And joining us on the phone is Sterling Whitaker," at which JY laughed. Then I said, "He laughs evilly", LOL. JY talked a bit about the early days of the group, and then the host basically promoted the hell out of my book and asked him if he had read it, whereupon JY said something along the lines of, "I've looked at it and read a couple of pages." The host then tells him he really should read it, how great it is and so on, and then JY said something to the effect of, "I actually never agreed to be interviewed by Sterling . . . in fact this is the first time I've ever spoken to him." So I interrupted with a tongue-in-cheek, "Hey, JY," which actually made him laugh. He said, "I thought you were kidding when you first said that (that I was on the phone), but now I recognize that you're not." LOL, I guess the reason he agreed to do the show with me is that they didn't tell him the show was with me! But he was cool, he rolled with it and was cordial, both on the air and off when we went to break. He made an explanation of why he wasn't so thrilled with the IDEA of a Styx book which was interesting. We came back from break and JY and Gowan talked a bit more, and then they ended that segment by asking me why Styx fans have stuck with the band for so long, and promoted the book once again, and boom! That was it. We all stayed on and just kinda bullshitted for two or three minutes and said our goodbyes. Overall, from my perspective at least, it was a really fun, very positive experience. I think Styx fans will really enjoy the mix of stories and perspectives in the show.

Thanks once again everyone for your interest. Sad to say, they went into more time than they intended and didn't get around to any fan questions other than one funny one for Gowan. But it went well and I'm really happy with it.

By the way, Stabbim, I love the Fish quote at the bottom of your signature. I don't know if I ever mentioned this, but among my fondest dreams was to write a screenplay based on 'Clutching at Straws', and at one point I was in touch with Fish about it. It didn't happen, as most don't, but he's a great guy and I have the fondest recollections of that period. That Fish period of Marillion was brilliant; I consider him to be one of the finest lyricists that genre ever produced.

That could have been very cool. CaS is my favorite Marillion album. I've come to appreciate the Steve Hogarth material to some extent, but for me, Fish will always be The Man.

(Not that I go trolling Marillion message boards to bitch about his absence and slag the current band. I mean, that would just be nutty.)

Glad to hear the interview went reasonably well. I'll have to check out the audio.

Wow, thanks for doing that! That's great. Now I can send some people who missed it over to the link. I really appreciate that!

[styxfanNH]

no problem, Sterling.

It's 40 minutes and I took out the commercials

[styxfanNH]

Lawrence says that next year could be some more dates with Def Lep and others with the Scorpions. Scorpions & Styx make for an interesting tandem.

[kittstyx28]

Neat interview, I thought Gowan was most interesting. What do you think JY was talking about with plans that even Gowan did not know of yet? Hmmm... We'll find out sooner or later. I hope its good news, though how everyone talks about JY, it seems like he only has negative things to report.

WOOOOHOOOO!!!!!! i've been waiting for THIS one! Love the Scorps, haven't seen them in over 2 decades or so. LOL that would be a fun double bill.

Scorpions were excellent this summer.
Their new album is great.
Great combo.I'd go.

[cittadeeno23]

I would go see that. The Scorps always put on a great show.
Does the new Scorps album rock? Because the last one they put out had too many slower songs which was kind of odd for them.

It does indeed rock.
Not sure which album was before,but I got Pure Instinct which is very ballad laden,but they got great hooks galore and I love it.
But Humanity Hour is smoking.

That is really cool!! THANX for doing that!!
IMHO, I would think the only thing "new and exciting" that they could possibly DO, would be to make us some new music!! Unless they do something with Dennis...
