THE MEANING OF 'DOUBLE LIFE'........???????

Some people in this world have been pondering the 'Meaning of Life'. Styx alumni around the world for years have been pondering 'the Meaning of 'Double Life'.' For those who've been on another planet, 'Double Life' is the fantastic classic song featured on the Greatest Album of All Time! [YES IT IS!! GET OVER IT!!!] KILROY WAS HERE released way back in 1983 by Rock Gods STYX!! Featuring the very classic best line ever:
'I am schizophrenic & so am I!'!!
Let's explore this further more shall we??????????????


The recorded 'meaning' of the song at the time was of course related to the character in the Greatest Music Video of All Time [no not Thriller!] Kilroy Was Here the movie [now called Caught In The Act -Live available on DVD everywhere & perfectly redone by the Greatest Tribute band of All Time: WNTDTYR!!!] [YES WE ARE-GET OVER IT!!]. Dr. Everett Righteous, leader of the Majority For Musical Morality in the song seems to struggle with his Double Life of being Dr. Righteous &????? This is where everything goes haywire....this has been the dilemma for Styx fans everywhere, the world over, it's not in the movie, or the videos. Was he a former rock star who got converted?? Was he a Roboto??? Or was he just INSANE!??? Double Life??? Triple Life????
1st of all I must reveal, that I, Earl of Rozland...AM DR. RIGHTEOUS!!!! ME!!
NO ONE ELSE!! 2nd, I, Earl of Rozland have discovered the REAL Meaning of DOUBLE LIFE, the proper meaning...THE TRUTH CAN FINALLY BE REVEALED!!!

James Young! He is renowned the world over as the iconic figure JY!! A known genius to every Styx fan everywhere. He is GOD!! Not only is he an amazing guitarist but he is unlike any classic rock star you will ever come across. Forget Ozzy, forget Plant, forget Alice Cooper, Bruce, Michael Jackson! None come in a better package than JY or metaller!!! Who else could write better songs than Miss America, Midnight Ride, Heavy Metal Poisoning, Great White Hope, Homewrecker, must I go on? They don't come any harder or rock louder than the great JAMES JY YOUNG...
No one worships this man more than I do.

So what's with the Double Life??? Is it JY or Memorex??? Is he James?, Jim or JY. Is it JY or J.Y. with the 2 dots between??? Have you ever noticed he has an Iggy Pop quality to his voice?? Have you ever seen JY & Iggy in the same room?? Could he possibly have been in the Stooges??? I can see him singing 'I Wanna Be Your Dog'! Can't You?

Or how about his sounding almost uncannily like Frank Zappa. Have you ever seen Zappa & JY in the same room??? They both play guitar, they both have the greatest mustaches ever. Zappa has been declared dead. Or is he?? Or did he just join Styx??? He is still releasing records you know. I could see JY singing 'Dancin' Fool'....can't you??

Now comes word that the Scorpions will end their career after almost 40 years. They are 'supposedly' German & 'apparently' have had a guitarist named Rudolf Schenker since the beginning of their amazing start. Rudolf also has a blond brother named Michael [Tommy Shaw anyone....????] They have fantastic songs: 'No One Like You', 'Rock You Like A Hurricane'. have you seen these videos??? Have you noticed the man on guitar??? With the mustache??? Look familiar????? Have you ever seen JY & Rudolf or the Scorpions in the same room, have you?????????? I have placed the evidence above....judge for yourself.

So which one is which??? JAMES YOUNG otherwise known as JY, Dr. Righteous, Frank Zappa, Iggy Pop, or Rudolf Schenker??????????? The man is such an iconic figure & such a legend that he has led this Double life....triple life....quadruple life... for the past 40 years. He only chose to reveal his true self on 'Kilroy Was Here' so that everyone would think he was conflicted about being Dr. Righteous & no one saw through it. He didn't know how to balance his Double Life as a member of Styx & the Scorpions. He opened up his heart, wrote Double Life about his pain & no one understood him. But I did! Is there no end to this man's Genius???? Telling everyone he's from Chicago & was in a band called TW4 that became Styx??? When he's really a part of a legendary German band whose brother still continues to make music & was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a member of the Stooges?? Now that's Legendary! JY YOU ARE THE MASTER!!
Styx fans can all rejoice now in the knowledge that we finally know the Meaning of Double Life. You may rest now.

This just in: Someone Cares About Styx Tribute-and again, where is Tommy Shaw?

"Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!"

we're still a little weepy from this wonderfully encouraging remark, and also a little confused. But thank you and we won't let you down!

Now then... we can't help but notice that this poster was searching for info about Tommy Shaw's most recent disappearance from the Internet...
Since we are certainly the most reliable source of real Styx news, we offer our most well researched hypotheses:

1) It has something to do with JY and his new solo album featuring a cover of Frank Zappa's "Dancin' Fool".

2)He is worried about falling victim to another Van Morrison-esque debacle.

3)His closest friends and family have served him an intervention in effort to stop his out-of control Farmville addiction.

Any enticing theories of your own will be gladly added to this list!

Righteous Refuses to Concede

Today in the news... it is not fake :

Dr. Righteous to America: Don't Let It End!

-AP Nov 5, 2008
Last night in New York City, while cheers of victory echoed in the crowded streets, Dr Righteous was reportedly in the Bronx watching VH1 Classic, shaking her head in disgust over the dynamics of a possible Led Zeppelin tour. Despite tireless efforts to rally the youth of America to proclaim their love of censorship and oppression, Dr. Righteous and the MMM party won a total of only 3 votes not including their own. These other votes for Righteous were possibly the 3 that Diebold thought would put her over the edge, or possibly cast by well-programmed robotos. As of this report, the MMM party is still in fierce denial of the loss and has yet to admit defeat.

The No More Rock campaign lives on!

I APPROVE OF THIS MESSAGE.........

So are they trying to tell me something?
Do they want to be on my team? My lieutenants? My slaves?
WILL THEY STAND BY ME AS I & MY CO-HORTS LT.VANISH & COL. HYDE FINALLY CAPTURE KILROY & CHANCE & HELP ME TWIST THEIR MINDS!!!!! !!?????????
I believe I have not only 2 perfect votes in my favor, but I have gotten an amazing screening of this movie celebrating not only myself but everything I believe in: action, the old way of living & no more rock! [notice whose name is bigger!HA!]
So not only do I urge you to VOTE for DR. RIGHTEOUS & the Majority for Musical Morality in its Independent Party this election, I urge you to see this movie...
Also, please do not forget to view my very much anticipated campaign video!!!
I'm DR. RIGHTEOUS & I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE!!!!

Righteous Kill---s the election

Dr Righteous will not be stopped by some Pacino Deniro movie...
Instead, she's running for president!

COMING SOON: New and Improved Styx-related Madness

In case you were wondering, yes, we are still awake
and yes we are still working on Styx-related madness.
Actually, we're getting close to our launching
the new and improved wntdtyr website, and as
if that weren't enough, a new video to boot!

DOMO ARIGATO, SR. ROBOTO

Notice the resemblance??? Unfortunately, this was not the most happiest of Daddy days for Mr. Roboto who lost his big Papa this week.

Little did Stan Winston know that when he made Mr. Roboto that his little baby roboto would bring joy & happiness to billions of people worldwide!
Sr. Roboto looked just like his boy, who'd undergone some changes over the years but with this most recent pic taken in 2007, Mr. Roboto was back to his old classic look. No Botox, no diet, just some good old Styx music & some of Papa's classic movies to get him by. He'll definitely miss his Daddy.

We pay tribute to our dear Stan for giving us Mr. Roboto & who will both live in our hearts forever, even Dr. Righteous.....
1946-2008

Why is Dr Righteous so thirsty?

Because she can't stop the music!

Michel Gondry finally rips us off

Michel Gondry. Michel Gondry is the man. Every video he's ever made he is totally rad...just look at some of our favorite youtube vids if you don't believe me.
Whilst shooting our lovely Kilroy remake, whenever I felt flustered or unsure about where it was all going, I found hope knowing he was standing behind us giving us that Bill Clinton thumbs up with a little cardboard tear jerkily dripping down his face.
Well now the great Gondry has made a movie about us! Starring who else but Jack Black...Be Kind Rewind is the title, and well...I think he secretly loves us back. Thank you, thank you, I know, great minds...

Tribute band better than band tributed

For anyone who's seen us play, you may have noticed a shortage of Tommy songs in our set. Rest assured this is not because we don't like them...The real reason we stay away from Tommy songs is that Styx still plays most of them, and we wouldn't want make Styx look bad. They try, but let's admit, they're no WNTDTYR.

The Hard Rock Theme Park?!

Oh man.... I so am obsessed with the 70's that I dvr That 70's Show until it erases itself to make room for more episodes. But what really proves that I'm obsessed with the 70's is that I fantasize about creating a theme park about the 70's where there would be characters walking around dressed up like scuzzy dirt rockers and cheesey disco guys, and there would be all kinds of linoleum and things decorated in that awesome orange and green color scheme. Even the restrooms would have old faucets and old toilets. That would be so cool.

But these Hard Rock Cafe bastards have beat me to it, and I think they're gonna do a half-assed job of it. Now, the 70's of course has all the great music and that's enough material to make a great theme park right there... if done with love.
BUT...The "Signature Attraction" at this so-called Hard Rock Park, is a giant roller coaster (how original) named after Led Zeppelin. sigh. Ok first of all, Disney already has a "Rockin' Roller Coaster Featuring Aerosmith" where they play Aerosmith songs and "drive" you to their concert really fast...So Led Zeppelin-the ride, I'm sorry but it's a little, how can I say it, Britney 2007 vmas?
A Led Zeppelin ride should be some really heavy haunted mansion kind of thing, not a damn roller coaster set to Whole Lotta Love. Yeah I get it, adrenaline and loud music go together, I learned that when I rode the "Alpine" at the state fair.

And besides this totally uncreative and insulting (to me) attempt at a tribute to led Zeppelin, it appears that all the other rides are also roller coasters just with different genres of music playing. Can you say, clueless? Is Led Zeppelin the only band that deserves a crappy ride? What about Pink Floyd? Dark Side of the Moon could practically build its own ride if you gave it space and some hammers and nails. And what about Genesis? Peter Gabriel would totally come up with something better than a roller coaster that plays I Can't Dance.

Of course the one band that will definitely not get a ride is, you guessed it, our dear, dear Styx. And how cool would a STYX ride be??? I mean COME ON!!!
Dr Righteous, robotos, a theater, easter island... you name it, that would be some megacrazy shit!!!! In fact, screw a styx RIDE, we need a STYX WORLD! A whole freaking park that's completely devoted to Styx...all Styx all the time...sick!

That's it, I'm writing a letter to these idiots

It was 30 years ago today.............

It was 30 years ago today......on the ultimate Bicentennial....that the best band in the world...... released the greatest album in the world the GRAND ILLUSION.... yet not 1 month later.....earlier members of this so called band would come together for ultimate world dominiation....here's the whole sorted story......

As you can see from the above pic which was taken 30 years ago when we used to be in Styx, we still looked pretty damn good for our ages. But this was of course when we were all friends....In 1961 the Tradewinds formed with Chuck & John & Dennis, then they found JC & JY then called themselves Styx. They made 5 great albums
until JC had had enough & left, then JY decided to leave also & took Dennis & John with them & Styx was left with just one member, Chuck. So Chuck at this point decided, HA, I could do a better band without these idiots, so he found the great Earl of Rozland & State Street Scotty to replace JY & John. In turn, we then proceeded to find the great 1/2 Anjy -2 Anjy & the ultimate Suki Madame Blue.....

Our world domination began with the songs they left over for what would eventually become the Grand Illusion album. We began work on the album, played the songs recorded it & all was well. Chuck painted the cover art which was glorious & we were all in Styx heaven.


glitter-graphics.com

At this point something started happening to Chuck & we were just a bit worried. We discovered he was getting constant calls from Dennis & JY asking if they could come back because they'd found this kid & recorded some song called Crystal Ball the year before with & thought it'd be cool if he would let them come back & play in the band. They begged & begged until Chuck had such remorse. This promptly pissed Suki Madame Blue off. So she disappeared to parts unknown. This was after the above pic was taken [in fact this was to be the original poster insert because we refused to wear jumpsuits...]. Just as we were about to sign the new 1977 tour contract [you can clearly see the pen in Chuck's hand!]. 1/2 Anjy wouldn't stay without Suki so she left & disappeared too.

This put Earl of Rozland & State Street Scotty in a most awkward position as we were about to give Chuck his new name, the Queen of Spades. But Chuck wouldn't hear of it. He sat us down, told us he would bring his old mates back & release it on 7-7-7 & said we could all retain our names as long as we didn't mention the fact that we played all the instruments on the album & he'd give us all a generous fee. We accepted with humility & decided to go our separate ways.....

.....& on August 17th Earl & State made a great pilgrimage to an Air Supply concert in Australia to seek solace from our dismissal & plot our ultimate revenge & on AUGUST 22, 1977......we found the ultimate spitfire again in our old guitarist 1/2 Anjy 2 Anjy after her journey to Bangladesh...... & even though we ran into 2 very un-Styx like persons on the way who tried very hard to disco-fy our sound with awful bass & keys, whom which we promptly released quickly & swore we would never make that mistake again .....Fate gave us our most precious gift....in Miss Suki Madame Blue, after we'd tipped over a huge dumpster in the greater Chicago area.

We found our calling....we prevailed & decided to continue without Chuck & let him take Styx where he had to. Decided to forgive & forget & call ourselves what not to do to your roboto.... WNTDTYR............

well dreams do come true.....................
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY WNTDTYR & GRAND ILLUSION.....
