Dennis DeYoung - Don't Wait For Heroes

This comes from the 1984 album, Desert Moon.

Here it is in Dennis' own words, from a December 1984 interview with Rockline!:

"I used to do a little speech in front of "Come Sail Away," a rap thing - and it was so well-received by people, they used to just come out after the show and if there was one thing they would mention about the show, it would be that little, motivational talk I gave on our dreams and how to accomplish them. It was so popular that I said, "Whatever I'm saying here, I should probably try to find a way to put it into words." So I tried to do that with that song."

@suzyqrose Dennis started playing more keyboards in concert in recent years. However JY and Tommy refuse to invite Dennis back (envious, jealous jerks they are). They are re-writing Styx history by eradicating DDY's name from its website, its history. DDY knew the Panozzos had potential when he heard them play as a kid and he formed Styx with them. JY and Tommy developed Van Halen syndrome with their egos as of 1999 and their revisonism is as bad as the Van Halen brothers.

@romeokid69 Oh, I wouldn't say that. You never know what'll happen so it could very well happen.

@wakaw07 What will happen? Dennis going back to Styx???? If you think that, you're high. It ain't happening, ever.
