They jumped the shark for me with Mr. Roboto, nearly as bad as radio kaos for Roger waters.

Yeah, they went all 80's on that album but heavy metal poisoning is still a rockin' tune. I'm sure it's gonna be a good show. Tommy will probably be playing it up to the home crowd.
I never knew half of the words but I loved the song back in the day.
"Mr. Roboto"
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, Mata au hi made Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, Himitsu wo shiri tai
You're wondering who I am (secret secret I've got a secret) Machine or mannequin (secret secret I've got a secret) With parts made in Japan (secret secret I've got a secret) I am the modren man
I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M. So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive, just keep me alive Somewhere to hide, to keep me alive
I'm not a robot without emotions. I'm not what you see I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free I'm not a hero, I'm not the saviour, forget what you know I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control. We all need control I need control. We all need control
I am the modren man (secret secret I've got a secret) Who hides behind a mask (secret secret I've got a secret) So no one else can see (secret secret I've got a secret) My true identity
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto For doing the jobs that nobody wants to And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto For helping me escape just when I needed to Thank you, thank you, thank you I want to thank you, please, thank you
The problem's plain to see: Too much technology Machines to save our lives. Machines dehumanize.
The time has come at last (secret secret I've got a secret) To throw away this mask (secret secret I've got a secret) Now everyone can see (secret secret I've got a secret) My true identity...
No doubt. I had Pieces of Eight on 8 track. I didn't even know when I got it that Tommy Shaw grew up in the same neighborhood I did until I saw an old guy wearing a Styx Tour jacket and one of my friends told me that was Tommy's father.

I wish Tommy would tell their keyboardest that nobody wants to see him grinding his ass with that stupid rotating stage he has set up like I saw on their recently televised 2012 Grand Illusion/Pieces Of Eight concert. It's just weird to watch any guy, especially an old one, do that. Other than that, I like their guitar work, if not the band's music.
If you can listen to Come Sail Away in the car without cranking the radio all the way up and playing air guitar and air drums (sometimes simultaneously), then you're a better man than me.
I've gotten more weird looks at stop lights thanks to that song and Bohemian Rhapsody than everything else combined.
There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world:
1. All Politicians Are Liars 2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement 3. Taxation Is Theft
I good friend of mine married Tommy Shaw's first Cousin Amanda. She sang for weddings and such and is a real talent. I remember during the Pieces of Eight in concert they threw half dollars in the audience.
