@kqwiet Tommy was strung out on cocaine and other drugs that his creativity was stifled as were JY. If A&M weren't screaming "ALBUM" Dennis may have done Kilroy as a solo album. Blame the label. Dennis didn't want to replace Tommy. He only did Desert Moon until Tommy got his ass together and was ready to return to Styx.
@EchelonSummer Dennis did end it with the Kilroy Was Here musical and then this tune was the last straw... until 1989. Even James Young's 'Heavy Metal Poisoning' wasn't good at that point... the stage show killed em. Overblown and with no money to show at that point.
This seems to me like Dennis DeYoung trying to destroy Styx intensionally...everything they were up to this was not the greatest but it was wasn't this..I heard this on the radio once and all I could remember for years was the part about girls in tight jeans...lucky me
